Also, there where no defensive strikes or quick movements from the snake to signal pain or discomfort. While I may be new to snakes I think that just because somebody is offering new techniques to care for ball pythons, he or she should not be shoot down because their methods are not common practice.

Besides, where would someone learn something like this if it wasn't safe. No zoologist or herpetologist is going to suggest something that could potentially harm an animal, that would be down right ludicrous.
Sorry bro, that dont mean much to me, or any of the rest of us.

How do you know that he has studied on this, or has had medical and scientific proof that this benifits the snake?

Just because he has a major in Biology, mainly in Zoology, doesnt mean much either along the lines of that. Ive talked to "Exoctic" reptile vets that have told me use a HOT ROCK for a snake.

If it was me, I wouldnt let him try anything on my snakes like that, and I waould also question his "knowledge".
