Sometimes when people have been doing something a certain way for so long its hard for them to change their idea of it. Or to listen to those with less time invested. Not saying that's what he is doing by any means. Animal husbandry changes all the time. It evolves with the animal to create ideal living conditions. 20 years ago I saw some crazy things the way reptiles were kept by their owners, today it would be inaccurate to house them in such ways. We are constantly improving our husbandry skills to allow the animal to live a longer and as much of a stress free life as possible. If you knowing modern practices, have seen the way he does things currently and believe he knows what he's doing then I'm sure he does.
