I completely agree with this.
I do know that I tend to get defensive about the caging issue, but it's definitely something that I want to pass on. It was my main fault and my main issue when I got my ball python, and I want to try to help and prevent that from happening to any new ball python owner like it happened to me. :] I don't mean to offend anyone by my straightforwardness but I tend to be very direct when I get my point across.
The poll is odd.
You still haven't answered the 'are you sure it's male?' question. I haven't heard of males getting that big either.
How did you go about measuring it?
