Some Brongs!

I know the person that made that video. He is a fine keeper. Soaking animals is part of keeping snakes, whether its before they shed to help, or after they shed, because it had a dry or incomplete shed. If you live on the east coast which I do and so does he, winters can be very dry, even if kept on cypress mulch, sphagnum moss, etc. Most people soak for around 30 minutes, say the animal takes a dump within the first 5 minutes, that can be the results.

To Joe, I'm glad you agree that there are many different ways to keep these animals. You come off like your ways are the only ways. I noticed in one of your videos, you have a Brong that you said has a URI and the temp is 75 degrees. I'm not sure if that's your steady temp, but for a animal with a URI or not that temp is pretty low, and in my experience that seems to cause URI's. Just to add in, I breed my animals, if the husbandry was off and my snakes were not healthy, I'm sure breeding and laying good eggs may be difficult, along with them all having great appetites, and raising them up. I don't run into them problems, with the exception of 1 or 2 animals a year possibly getting sick, which I do what I need to do, to get them back to regular health.
