I'm going to be honest here... I see your point BUT assuming that people don't do their research is not fair. The problem is that there is sooooo much inconsistent information out there. We did tons of research before getting our ball. I read most every care sheet out there, asked our reptile guy questions, etc, etc, etc. until joining forums I had no idea the small details we were missing. Hell, I find inconsistencies between forums :/ I have Also discovered that forums can lead one to be unsure of everything they are doing and not doing. Is this right? Is that right? I think it's important that people are told that if their animal is healthy, content, and thriving that what one is doing is fine if temps/humidity are where they should be. ALSO... Not everyone is able to buy multiple enclosures. For the regular everyday person fish tanks are the option they know about and are readily available. Reading that a bp needs to be provided a small enclosure to begin with and upping as needed equals a HUGE expenditure. Long term dictates buying that 40 gal right away. Tub setups are not widely known and even then you'll have to upsize your uth along with the tub. Idk... After joining forums I feel like a first time snake owner even though our bp has been healthy and thriving for 1 1/2 years.
