    Re: I am not a believer -do you think you can convert me?

    I think there is a problem with ANY globalized generalization.
    That said, there is also truth within globalized generalizations.

    Example: I have 13 ball pythons. I have some in rack systems and some in 3x2x1 cages. There are some of my snakes who will not ever go into a cage given their seeming low level of security. I have 2 snakes who will not handle even a 32qt tub and so they are in 16qt tubs. Yes, one of them is small, but the other is the same size as others who happily inhabit a 32qt tub. When I put her into a bigger space she refuses food and this is a sign of stress.

    All the snakes are a little bit different from the other. On this forum, it is wise to put out there the tried and true techniques so that new herpers can have near instant success with their snakes. Once these herpers gain a little experience and learn to read the snake's behaviors, then they go on with their education.

    Just my thoughts.....
