heating/lighting?...so confused!

[Anakiyas dad]

Since none of our opinions matters according to you two whats the point in trying to answer anyones post if we have to put up with your "your temps are too cold" "be more specific" "YOUR WRONG WRONG WRONG"

you two are mainly the reason some have not posted or tried to help anyone because of your E-Thuggery.

So you say all BP's are the same then? That they all like constant 80 amb temps and 90 bask temps. And again 2 degrees from 80 is too low! Sorry but 16 years of collecting and no premature deaths and zero illnesses tells me;

A) My methods seem to be working just fine.
B) You two have too much time on your hands to Internet-Argue.
C) The OP was asking a question/opinions and that was mine.
D) Sounds like someone has not done their homework.
E) Next time someone posts about their set-up and pet bear in mind they might just know a bit more what works best for their pet.

Wow! Are you kidding me???

No, not all BP's are the same. I never said they were. Once again as I stated before, you were not clear in your original post as to which temp you were referring to. For a person new to snakes that can be quite confusing. All you needed to do was clarify, not have a tantrum.

And who is "internet-arguing??? Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black

You are 100% right - that was YOUR opinion. Just as it was mine to say 78 degrees is to low.

Maybe you should have had someone help you with your homework, obviously you need a refresher coarse in how not to be a hypocrite. Maybe look into getting a tutor to get that resolved.

I second the 8ball idea

All lenastorms was saying is that your conditions might not be the best for most BPs. Since this person is obviously a newbie to BPs, I have to agree that your method is slightly out of the ordinary and that the "regular" conditions might work best for her. I think it's great that you look at what your BP likes, and that you adjust its environment accordingly, but 78 is probably a little on the low side for "average" (if you will, since no two BPs are the same) Ball Pythons.

Thank you I merely just posted what my BP likes and was my opinion. And since the others are such exerts they tell you that you are wrong.

This is the reason I have not posted or been here since I joined.

Hey come on guys I have to agree with Anakiyas that lots of these stupid argument happen.

I started liking this forum b/c everyone was so friendly, but then I got more in it and more people started giving me crap.

Let's just stick to this:

Anakiyas, great your BP is healthy, thanks for giving advice, but maybe you should've mentioned that it is not "normal" for a BP to like it that cold.

Lena and Slim, just because Anakiyas said something you guys didn't agree with or liked, doesn't mean you should keep going on about it.

Let's keep it cool, peeps.

[Slim]

Let's keep it cool, peeps.

I'm down Dutch. I'm recalling the bombers as we speak

[goldenfoxs]

umm yeah so to get away from the argueing. i would say

90-94 on the hot side
78-80ish ambiant temp
80-84 on the cool

JUST MY OPINION i'm a noob too

p.s. i agree with lena and slim

I am amazed to see people arguing over 2 degrees. I could understand if the advice provided was dangerous and could possibly harm the animal however I am not getting this.

While I tend to recommend higher temps especially to new owners (which does not mean that I provide those temps to my animals), I can tell you this, 78 degrees will in no way harm the animal in question,

So time for everyone to relax and stop the bickering over 2 degrees.
