I definitely don't think you are a troll, but you don't find it at all funny that about 99% of the big BP breeders and hobbyists use similar methods for keeping these snakes? One guy says to do it this way...And you discredit all information that everyone is offering? The end of the day...Do as you wish.
P.s. The snake looks very healthy to me and some snakes do very well without hides. I prefer using hides w/ most of my snakes, but some will never use it and eat fine without it. If she has no hide and is still feeding for you..Don't use one.
