Or none of the above.
I think people should do more thinking and more questioning when it comes to advice that is not backed with any basis in nature or foundation in natural history.
There are a lot of overfed snakes..mainly because people tend to follow advice or guidelines without bothering to ask questions.
Let's put it this way....thinking is good. Questioning is good. Improving husbandry through science is good. Doing something because someone else goes it....too many variables to be good.
