Agreed.

No it's because people want to be trolls and wake up a thorn up where it shouldn't be. That's all. BOS was asking a question about his snakes and it was answered.

I'm not getting cranky, but thanks for assuming?

I don't get using absolutes for newbies, or using absolutes to dumb down a concept 'for newbies'. Two secure hides=/=two identical hides. I used a coconut shell and a dragon hide and she used both of them, feed, shed and pooped while using both of them. As long as she's doing normal snake things, I'm not too concerned whether or not my hides matched. Different people keep different ways- if their animals are safe and happy, thats fine.

The only absolute for newbies is don't use a danged UTH without a thermostat. As for the hides, my BP's all have two, not necessarily identical, and I've seen them using both so I figure they're happy.

Well, to be fair that falls under 'if the animal is safe'

Well if you keep up with when other new members come to ask question the other new members refer to the answer given. So by saying two identical hides it's hard to misword it. You remember when you're younger and they did the thing where everybody whispered something in the person next to thems ear and at the end how much of it was changed? It's like that. By saying something simple it's really hard to misconstrew it.

For instance this. I wouldn't really recommend a new keeper to use a dimmer switch over a thermostat, but I use a dimmer switch for my Rufous Beaked(not for my rack). I've been using them for years without issues on vivariums and terrariums and the likes. But if we tell a new keeper he can use a dimmer switch then he tells other new keepers the same thing it can create an issue, especially if people are judging by the touch if the UTH is hot enough or not. It's just easier to recommend simple things, it's nothing about dumbing it down. It's the fact they most likely lack experience.
