I have seen a lot of posts on these forums from new people who post pictures of similar set ups and get absolutely ripped to shreds for it. I can almost guarantee that if a joe blow that no one knew had posted a video like this that I would have seen the following:

"You need two identical hides."
"Those stick on thermometers are terrible. And there's no humidity guage! Please use an Accurite!"
"Those UTH's get up to 120 degrees and fluctuate wildly. You have to use a rheostat/thermostat!"
"Please cover the sides of the tank with a dark material."

From my perspective, it appears there's a double standard.

Maybe my perspective is skewed but that's how I see it. Am I wrong?
It's easy to rip on Joe Blow(the poor guy). I think Ralph knows his stuff and is suggesting a "bare bones" setup for a person starting out with their first ball python.
