I'm a career biologist. Ecologist specialty even. Fairly extensive background in neuroscience. Does that mean you now believe everything I said about reptile behavior?

You shouldn't because reptile behavior in captivity isn't my area of expertise.

The best advice you're going to realistically get is from people, like the ones who have commented here, that have decades of experience raising BPs. Frankly, that experience trumps pretty much everything but the opinion of a very specialized academic when it comes to practical care for your animals. I'm not talking about myself here btw; my experience is primarily with colubrids, and there are some pretty big differences between their behavior and a BP's.

WHAT.
