    ReptilesTV - Bad Info?

    Just watch the vids. I've linked directly to the first one. You can go to the others from there. Seems like some bad info mixed in with good. Thoughts?

    Yeah, well, he's an idiot. Direct sun? Proper lighting? Baby ball in a 20L with all that glass? Huge hides? Desert snow (what is that?)? Good grief...

    Were those baby retics they showed when they were panning from the ball morphs?

    Keep the cage dry? Guess his balls don't get any humidity.

    Direct sunlight? Oook then.

    Also wasn't aware that Bps get minor benefits from plant matter.

    Alright, I'm done.

    Re: ReptilesTV - Bad Info?

    Wow... that is some really outdated information. All of which is either wrong or not necessary. I feel like I would do a better job giving proper husbandry advice and I don't even have a degree in Herpetology. Its like a Doctor being trained in the 1940's telling us nowadays thats smoking isn't harmful. REFRESHER COURSE OLD MAN!

    Re: ReptilesTV - Bad Info?

    Actually it wasn't that bad until the last few seconds at the end where he recommends keeping the tank very dry and giving the snake natural sunlight at least once a week. That kind of brought the whole thing down, but he started out pretty well.
