    When someone answers the OP’s question even though they haven’t posted in 2-3 years, the answer can still benefit others.

    For these reasons I have read through plenty of necro threads.

    On the other hand, I’m and glad that when the same questions are asked over and over ad nauseum folks will answer them rather than dismiss them by telling the OP’s to do a “search” like on many other forums.
    That's because we do occasionally change the answers. One particular old tip used to be withholding water then offering a sopping wet F/T to "entice" the bp to eat. I didn't like it at the time and hate it now. Also the practice of "chaining" feeders by shoving it in the snakes mouth as it is about to finish the prey item it was feeding on.

    Necro's run the risk of putting outdated info on the front page and, to be honest, I'm in favour of auto-locking threads after 24 months or so just to avoid it.
