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?
Well when you call me out for something you think you know about and you don't I grade accordingly. You didn't hit a nerve at all. The thing is it's always best to have identical hides, do you need them? No. Do you need any hides? No. Some things you just don't explain because it gets involved in depth and it makes the same point in the end. It's easier to say all snakes then to say well some snakes don't need hides, but for BP's you want identical hides. Then they ask what other snakes don't and do? Then I have to answer more questions that was easier to state in the first place. Also I know what snakes BOS has which is why I said what I did. I don't deal with bloods and GTP don't use hides, but why go into depth about something he doesn't have?
