2012 Hold Back Update

[Pythonfriend]

maybe just give them hides and see if they prefer it over sleeping in the water?


i mean, where i live, there are minimum requirements for keeping BPs and hides are part of it. maybe you can make a case that when the rack is dark enough its fine, maybe the tubs just should be black, or add hides, but the current situation cannot be healthy for the snakes.

it doesnt look comfortable at all and having their butt underwater for hours each day also doesnt seem healthy. it needs to be fixed. get hides, or get black tubs, or wrap the tubs in black paper, something.

i dont think its mites.... if it really would be, it would mean all your snakes have them, and then you would find drowned dead mites in quite a number of water bowls.

Anyway, i completely forgot to say.... quite nice holdbacks, looks like you will soon get to 3 gene combos with these holdbacks


EDIT: making it completely dark has the drawback that the snakes might not have a proper night-day cycle. a hide, and a bit of daylight, would be the most natural way, this way the snakes know when its day and when its night and just choose to go in the hide during the day.
