Questions about my daughter's new BP

[Craiga 01453]

Wrong again, unfortunately, you have zero scientific papers or articles to back you up. Most of your information is from breeders and enthusiasts who tried something and it worked, that's not science.

Breeders are going to run hotter temps to get the BPs to gain weight faster so they can breed quicker as well as sell quicker. This is not true for your average BP keeper when long life and health is a priority.

So you know what I was studying over 20 years ago and all that I've read since??? I've read books, written by doctors, scientists, herpetologists, breeders, etc....
I've read papers and listened to blogs and podcasts. So you're clueless and just making stuff up. Unless you were by my side the last 29+ years you can't possibly know what I've read.

But seriously, you're a colossal waste of my time. I'm done arguing with a rookie know-it-all.

Ok then send me a link. Tell me the name of the peer reviewed study. Unless you can your posts are meaningless to me.

As I said my facts are from experience, I know what I saw, I know what I did, and I've seen the results. Your trying desperately to convince me otherwise and your not doing a good job

OP, again, I'm sorry.

I don't even care if I get an infraction, but this idiot has wasted too much of our time.

I'm sorry you came here to learn and were derailed by someone with next to no experience who just wants to ruffle feathers.

He or she is a perfect example of why it's so important to cross reference information you receive. Follow the people who have experience and a good reputation. I'm not an expert, don't claim to be. I learn new stuff all the time. But I believe my knowledge, experience and reputation speaks for themselves.

We see clowns like that come and go all the time, I'm guessing this one will be just like the others and disappear when nobody buys into their bullcrap and ignores him/her.

Please don't let this crap deter you from seeking further help here, this is not a typical thread. There are plenty of people who know what they're talking about and are happy to help.

You're right people like me looking to learn, offering what advice they have, come and go all the time cause you push them away, I've seen many times. Your issue with me is that I won't go away so that you can go back to being God of this forum. You have a God complex this isn't your forum your experience is just that YOUR experience. Can't stand to have somebody come and question your infinite wisdom.

Actually I have to disagree 60 percent is ideal humidity and it should not go lower than that.

Lol you nailed it, thanks. I'm not above checking myself. I'm not here to be God just share my experiences without being provoked. I will "get over myself", appreciate it.

Seriously though .. a quick search throws up that you only started keeping snakes a little over a year ago and so to be fair it’s probably best that you just keep reading and learning and giving tips on things that worked for you on that time .

I’ve been keeping well over a decade and I still feel as though I’ve only just scraped the surface of snake keeping knowledge and I still make daft mistakes .

I’d take a low profile for a while and then just be less ‘challenging’ on your return..

Oddly enough when I first started frequenting this forum I got in a quite a few bruising encounters surrounding LIVE feeding .. I turned it around so can you !!

Thanks but no thanks, I have been watching threads on this forum and every comment my personal experience or thoughts I would duck out before I got attacked cause I know how it is around here. This time I got dragged in no matter how I tried not to. The issue is I want to learn and if everyone says and does the same thing so you can't learn. Anytime anyone has something different or interesting to say they are stamped out cause it doesn't fit the narrative. No Thanks. Learning means keeping an open mind not hot fitting everything into a box.

I feed live, Yes I said it. Many others do as well but would never post this on the forum . That's just wrong

I truly haven’t noticed any ‘stamping down’ in here well not since I upset loads of people by suggesting it was an horrific thing to do .. that’s years ago though and I was completely to blame ..

I think quite a few still feed LIVE .. we don’t in the uk and that’s what caused all my early ‘issues’ ..

In attempt to get back on topic in the winter time how is it possible to heat a glass aquarium, to above 75 degrees without raising house temps to 78? Who is going to actually do that for 1 BP? If you run a CHE your humidity plummets and that's a whole other issue. The other option being a space heater that needs to somehow be regulated. What's the suggestion toss the whole setup?

I ended up putting in a second heat mat with hide set 80 degrees with sphaghnum moss to keep humidity maintaining 88, 80 and 72 spots. Worked great. In the wild temps go down to 68 all the time, they either move to hotter location or fast until the weather goes back to normal. I don't see an issue.

According to you I should just keep quiet until I get 15 years under my belt in order to post. Why?

Feeding live works for me right now and for my particular situation. That might change in the future who knows.
