    Craft stores and Walmart usually have lots of different fake vines to choose from as well. The hard plastic ones are easier to sanitize...the silk ones are prettier. Up to you. I can't think of any specific restrictions for such things.



    Here's the thing, Mike...it's not up to you to determine what's "right" for everyone else. You should most certainly offer your opinion on what might be better solutions....but to just jump in a thread and start scolding people for "bad husbandry advice" and telling others their set up is all wrong, just because it's not how you like it..... There ARE different ways to go about caring for these animals that are all just fine. And while there are some very obvious "wrong" ways, none of those "wrong" ways are coming across here. There is
    no reason to be so arrogant in your approach to simple husbandry differences.
    Telling people to have a basking spot of 82-85 false info in "experience" is bad info.

    I not saying my way is "right", as you say, but it is the BEST way, like I have already said. And you can keep a dog over the winter in a unheated dog house that is too small for it. The dog will eat, drink and lick your face BUT is it the "right" way? Depends on the person......is it the BEST? No.
    An over sized tank for a bp of that size would have been simply solved by researching. A climbing log for a ground snake who borrow and not climb, which has also been proven to possibly hurt you snake is not the smartest thing I've seen done. Also having a towel resting on a HEAT lamp isn't the wisest thing as well. As far as heating it's been said time and time and time and time and oh yea time again heat lamps.....no, uth.......yes. Having all sides of the tank open glass without a covering to help the ball feel more secure. Simple things that are the BEST way to do things.

    I mean, another example. Let's say you lock your child in a closet for its whole life. Let out for "play time" once daily for exercise. Now is it the wrong way to raise a child? I mean the kid eats and grows right? Wrong we don't do that b/c it's not the BEST way to do things.

    I'm arrogant b/c i do the best way not a way just to get the job done......aka your guys "right" way. I do things the best way b/c I care and respect my animals. It speaks miles about people by the way you "care" for an animal.
