I love BP.net; this site was one of my primary sources of information in the time leading up to bringing Auryn home. It's a wonderful community with helpful people in it; I'm very grateful for each and every person who took time out of their lives to offer advice/encouragement/comments/critiques when I post. That said, before I brought Auryn home I did a LOT of research, and not just at BP.net. I read multiple housing set-ups on many websites: breeders, independent owners' care sheets, BP.net, etc. I also spoke to the breeder I was purchasing from and ran my potential setup by her before I brought him home.

I think it's important with husbandry to get a variety of perspectives and to go from there. It is the sole responsibility of a potential snake owner to do the research before buying a pet. If that doesn't occur and he/she comes to a place like BP.net to get information, he/she should be willing to take any criticism graciously. He/she should also rectify the lack of research prior to purchase by doing some research on his/her own. Many questions asked on the forum have been answered already (the "search" function on the site is great), and Google is most excellent when one wants to get comparative information.

Just my .02
