A sideways tank.

Your post did come off quite abrasive. Every keeper has different set ups and diligent keepers make good ones where the animal is feeding and house well. With out all the facts (like what challenges each keeper faces everyones are different) tact is required. If it isn't to your taste that is fine but it is your taste not his.

Very few people have true gradients anyway, most have a hot spot and cool spot with almost instant shift between them. I personally have 2 enclosures of 8 that have real gradients the rest just have hot/cold spots. Not everyone agrees with my approach but no one whom has had dealings with me can claim I am not diligent in my methods.
kite that is amazing! i wanted to do something like that but was afraid the sides wouldnt hold up.i just seen it done and now i got a new project..

yeah there is a myriad of ways of keeping balls.to each their own and pgh is right that written words dont really convey the full message because it lacks emotion and tone of voice.some of what i said was obviously sarcasm "a paper cut"for instance.but next time i criticize online i wont let the words come off my fingers first..cause i am by no means an expert in herpetology or pretty much anything.i just have a opinions and beliefs like anyone else.
i dont believe i have a "true gradient"just different spots in the tank that are different temps for her to choose from.shes a pig and friendly as a snake can be and that is all i can ask from her.oh i could ask if she would stop pooping and urating in her hollow tree and do it somewhere else.its so annoying to clean that out.
