Often when it comes to Ball Pythons, there isn't much (if any) research done regarding these animals and specific needs.

Therefore, the give and take of HEARD, READ, or EXPERIENCED information is all we have to go by. I don't think it's exactly appropriate to label this "regurged" information, because if we are doing it ourselves, we are also adding our own experience to what we have learned/heard.

Personally, I would not try something new that may endanger my collection just to "prove" the validity or invalidity of a claim. In this case, I would go with the majority that have experienced/used a method with the LEAST amount of conceived health issues.

*this give and take, the exchange of information, whether researched or not..is all we have to go on at the moment, so don't hold by from sharing what you have learned or heard, someone may be able to share more information and thereby increase the level of knowledge one currently has.

btw: Theorically, all information that is posted here and anywhere is "regurged" unless one has done something different, out of the mainstream and is posting his OWN experience. Even when we repeat facts that we learned in school, it can be considered "regurgation."
