    Re: bored with new batteries

    Bubble bursting time.

    Did you guys know that ball pythons can live healthily for YEARS with NO hides?

    It's been done.

    Captivity is NOT The Wild.

    We don't, NONE of us, not a single arrogant mother's son of us, know what these guys really think.

    Who's to say they don't hide more because there are more hides but NEVER think of hiding when there are none. Or maybe it just doesn't bother them. Maybe burrowing in substrate is enough. Maybe a piece of newspaper to crawl under is every bit as good as a termite mound.

    How do we know whether it is or not?

    By how successfully we keep our snakes.

    They've been successfully kept without any hides at all.

    Therefore, they need no hides.

    See how easy it is.

    You do it your way and your snake is fat and seem happy. I do it my way and my snake is fat and seems happy.

    Why argue over who's right when it's obvious that we both are?

    There is rarely ONE way to accomplish a goal.

    What was the last one ruined by "arrogance"? Could it have been your Adolf thread?

    If I were bored and had new batteries, I wouldn't be taking pictures of snakes.
