The problem is that their "experts" over there consist of a guy who calls himself Julius Squeezer, says he has been keeping snakes for 33 years (I don't believe he has a single BP) and is the head zealot in their non live feeding agenda. Highlights from his drivel:

1. Live feeding is a horrible thing to do and can't be done safely
2. Ball Pythons DONT get RIs (he hasn't heard of a BP getting an RI in 33 years of keeping snakes)
3. Ball Pythons should be kept at temps not exceeding the 80s (90s will cook your snake)
4. He diagnoses snake problems as 100% fact without ever seeing the snake

Scary stuff folks...
