I'm always open to critique, if it will actually help the situation. I will not, however, change the way my snakes tank looks because its "more aesthetically pleasing" or "the $50 substrate works better than the $20", when in reality its exactly the same thing. My point is that just because a person has owned snakes longer, or more of them, is no reason to ve rude. I used to have a red tail boa we got when she was a hatchling, and she grew to be 7 ft, perfectly healthy her whole life. They didn't have forums back then, though. Lol.
