Would you mind sharing where you read this information ?

Perhaps if we knew where this was coming from, we could help other people confused by the information without going overboard.

Judy put this in the best possible way, and I'm glad she has a cool enough head to explain things, that's why she's a Mod here!

Anyway, as confusing as the information out there on snake husbandry is, I found out the best thing to do is when I read something, I try to find out how many OTHER related sites carry the same information. If one site out of 15 says something is bad, and the other 14 says it's ok, I'll usually go with the majority.
