Wait until you feel like sharing a detailed post or just let somebody else. Not that I think this question needed alot of detail. You did say "all snakes" which dooms your post out of the gate with incorrect information.

    I do understand what you are saying about giving advise to new hobbyist but how else are they to learn? However accidentally giving incorrect information is more of a disservice to new hobbyist than vague information. They can always ask for more details but may not question information started as a fact.

    Try to post it right the first time and you won't have to respond in detail later. Like your edit about the half log. You should have shared that in your first post.
    No he doesn't have a point. I don't mind sharing details but as much as we answer the question about hides, it's just better to say identical. It's not incorrect information though, it's always best to try to provide two identical hides because what if the snake prefers one over the other and it's not the temperature he really wants, this is one of the many reasons a snake can be stressed. A BP will choose security over temperature, and because of this I've seen burns and all that because of incorrect husbandry. I answered it shortly with the a direct answer and he wanted to come troll to make an audience.

    Point out my incorrect information please. How about you know what you're talking about before you come to me talking about anything being incorrect information. An identical hide is always going to be better for any given snake, regardless of it being a BP or not. Some snakes won't even use a hide as is the case with my Rufous Beaked who have a highway under the substrate, but I still provide two identical hides even though I only really see it used during shed.

    EDIT:
    Also you should try to understand the reason I edited my original post instead of assuming you knew why. I never said anything about it being half log because I don't know if it is or not. I made a general statement. Log hides come in half and whole. I don't know what he has so I didn't assume like you assuming the reason I edited my post.
