Glad you're here to give us some different perspectives!

Yep, it is definitely 'always' humid over here! Or at least it doesn't get so dry that a large water bowl in the viv is sufficient to sort it.

Live feeding is a bit of an issue, many people over here think it is illegal to feed your snake live. It is not illegal over here at all, but most people in the UK prefer to feed F/T (It's easier, cheaper, less dangerous for the snake etc etc).

I personally have no problems at all feeding live (provided it is done carefully and quietly and not posted on youtube whilst the owner cackles and laughs in the background!).

I breed my own rats for my guys, but all are prekilled before I feed (except the odd live pinkie for the beardy as a treat.)

I hope I will provide some interesting contributions

Cheers
