confilicting info

[joepythons]

ok so i just went to a new store to get a mouse for my ball and i had some information that i would like to share and get some opinions on.

1. He told me that you should never feed a snake anything over a large mouse. feeding every 3-5 days ofc.

2. that you should have a large water dish with a heating lamp with a reflector bulb in the tank pointing at the dish.

Well first answer is he is WRONG! I feed my snakes rats and only rats. You can feed mice also if thats all they will eat.The next one is also WRONG in part.You should never place a heat lamp in the enclosure as it will burn the snake.You can place one on the lid over the water dish to help keep the humidity levels up.I just spray them when they are inshed.Next please give that person info so he/she can come here and learn the truth
