So what you are saying is, because he is new, we should refuse to answer his questions about advanced husbandry.

This seems wrong.

How do I progress beyond noob if People don't share some more advanced advice is the point.. Not saying I would jump out and keep 5 snakes in one tank and feed them all live together at once..

I would like more advanced methods and options as maybe your advances method happens to suit my needs and abilities better..

I am guilty of and see others freaking out about keeping "perfect" husbandry with temps and stuff as the way a lot of the basic info gets put to ppl it's like keep these numbers for temps and humidity or your snakes going to die..

I originally decided to get a bp cuz they are easy to care for compared to a lot of reptiles.. Then I came here and i saw a lot of the advice and it honestly made keeping a bp seem way harder then it is.. At least so far..

Also maybe if I fiddle with it I will find something new that I could then offer on here as an option

We do have an advanced husbandry sub-forum.

Simply asking in a different tone there may have got a few more replies.

It's difficult to explain the focus on the basic husbandry plan we "regurge" without offending people by accident. It is used because it requires the least knowledge and observational skills and doesn't presume the keeper can tell, from behaviour only, when something isn't working for the animal before it actually causes any problems.

Unlike cooking we try and avoid throwing failed experiments in the trash.

I genuinely believe it is better for people to learn how to walk before they attempt to run when it affects another living being so fundamentally. We have never said there is only one way to keep BP's healthy and happy - though at times reading the site it can seem that way.
