OK...this raises a question...

Do you trust a certified veterinarian? or do you trust someone who has been in the ball python business since in evolved? I choose option B, but what if you're in a confrontation with a certified veterinarian and he's telling you all this bogus crap "no hides, UV lights "...us "little guys" can't sit there and tell a VET how uneducated he is! sure you can say "well i know breeders that told me to do this" and what's his advice gonna be? "sure, do you believe everything you read?"

give this guy Adam's phone number and let him explain the needs of a ball python.
