Im so glad things go nicer here than they did when i joined. This would have been ugly fast with the people around...
I kind of support a different form of arguement. From our research on the NARA and other various herp sites, and interrogating alot of breeders, Bigger tanks should be 2/3 the snakes lenth long and 1/2 its length wide. We use a 40g breeder for our baby. The more it was planted, the comfier it is to her. Also a hardcore supporter of using uva and uvb for the snake(many posts in the end of the full spectrum debate). The thing we stand firm on is, the closer to all natural for Shiva the better. Shes even got a diy fogger. We slightly fluxuate temp a degree or 2 daily(always in safe limits) vary humidity, and misting(still making a rain machine). Because we feel nature is never 100% the same on a daily basis. Never a health issue. Never a hunger strike.
I am all about this debate, as learning the behaviors of other owner and their snakes, can be a valuable learning experience for everyone.
Bam! Nature!!!!
I hope this debate stays alive guys.
