Wow!!! Thanks for the neg rep and email Neal. I guess I hit a nerve. I was not trying to start anything with you and thought I was plainly stating my opinion in a polite way. I guess I failed.
If your snake chooses a secure hide and gets burned that the owners fault, not the snakes. Like you said it is because of incorrect husbandry, it has nothing to do with the hides. Have to of the same hides will also not always keep a snake from getting burned if the hotspot is to hot. My ball has two very different hides and stays in the warm hide most of the time but since the temps are correct their is no problem and I know she will not be burned. You are trying to prove a point using a different keeping issue as the reason. That doesnt work.
I also was not assuming why you put in your little edit bit. I was just suggesting that it should have been stated in your first post. What do I not know what Im talking about? The comment "all snakes need two identical hides" is incorrect. I guess I need to add some to my gtp cage. Or I need to add another hide in my bloods cages since I use one hide and one side of crumpled newspaper.
EDIT:
Neals Comment: Clearly I can say waht I want and edit or repost if I didn't get to type it in the first time. It's called using a cell phone.
My question: Why do I not get to do the same?
