Climbing Balls

[jbean7916]

I never said ALWAYS. I said all D-A-Y. Yes BPs are nocturnal in case you didn't know. And yes my rack powered by my herpstat pro running the flex watt at 91.6 give or take belly bask and 80.7 give or take cool side, must be wrong right? With a space heater to keep the room heated as well in case of low temps outside I'm at work. Before you go running your unintelligent trap know what your talking about first. Even if you hate me, I'm still right. Hate it or love it my way is best. Not it works and they eat, no its the best.
And actually it's not my way. It's the true BP way. There is a reason all good reptile owners follow the correct path.

I think that you should possibly re-read what you have written before you hit post. You might not think that you are coming off like an arrogant and rude person but you are. You are making assumptions about what a ball python truly needs. Now, yes, they have been studied in their natural habitats, but that doesn't mean the people who studied them saw everything. You mention them being nocturnal, so how do we know that wild balls don't climb small brush at night? Temperatures you are quoting are air temps of the natural environment but you said yourself that they are burrowing snakes. What then do you think in the temp difference below ground because a 5 degree drop wouldn't be unthinkable. If a snake is given a temp gradient in the range of the natural habitat it will hang out where it is most comfortable. And just because the space is bigger than MOST people prefer, if the snake is showing no signs of stress, why is it any of your concern?



And finally, to the OP, make sure you check those vines for any circular wires. I bought a couple and they had little rings that needed to be popped off before letting my baby in with him just in case he though he would fit but wouldn't
