    deli cup, you mean, single-use plastic cups? or is it more sturdy plastic cups?

    how often do you use them before you throw them away? how many do you throw out, per ball python per month? or do you recycle the plastic?

    just curious. i mean, for a dollar or two you can get a water cup that lasts forever and that will survive in a dishwasher.

    also i think its quite alright if you go a size or two bigger than you actually need. BPs are good at swimming and can hold their breath under water, and sometimes they like to soak. so it can be used to get the humidity up.
    The Big Bang almost certainly (beyond reasonable doubt) happened 13.7 billion years ago. If you disagree, send me a PM.
    Evolution is a fact, evolutionary theory explains why it happens and provides four different lines of evidence that coalesce to show that evolution is a fact. If you disagree, send me a PM.
    One third of the global economy relies on technology that is based on quantum mechanics, especially quantum electrodynamics (electron-photon or electron-electron interactions). If you disagree, send me a PM.
    Time Dilation is real, it is so real that all clocks if they are precise enough can measure it, and GPS could not possibly work without it.
    If you disagree, send me a PM.

    The 4 philosophically most important aspects of modern science are: Evolutionary theory, Cosmology, Quantum mechanics, and Einsteins theory of general relativity. Understand these to get a grip of reality.
