This post is going way over board from what the OP was asking. It has gotten into a full blown debate.
Cort you started by saying that bp owners have no passion for our animals and that is so not the truth. If in your words they should be kept in a natural environment then they should be kept in their environment and not in captivity at all. Even your vivs are not totally natural do they have a fresh warm breeze going through them? Does it rain in them like it does in nature? Do you feed frozen or live?
Everyone has their own thoughts on things. IMO I don't see any need for people to own hots, but at the same time I am not going to tell someone that they shouldn't. It's just my own opinion.
But to come out and say that the owners out here have no passion for their snakes. Is totally uncalled for. I have never seen an animal on here that was kept in harsh conditions unless that person rescued it from someone that wasn't taking care of it properly.
In your last post you said that most snakes in captivity adapt to their surroundings. And for BPs that could be a tub with newspaper or with paper towels.
I have one normal that I keep in a tank and I have to fight all the time to keep the humidity right. I have 3 others in tubs that the humidity is dead on all the time as well as the heat.
I know this was a bit of rambling but like other people on here I do have passion for my animals.
