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.
    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?
