Zach, Please do me a favor though and re-read your post.

> But your original post is a begginer question that shows that you still have a lot to learn.<

Zach How long do I have to be in the Hobby to be as knowledgable and wise as you? You DON"T have a lot to learn?

>Your snake sits out in the open because it has been accustomed to do so over its life. It had a choice, sit out in the open (I would consider even your hide boxes open), or die of stress.<

Zach there are two pyros crammed tightly into that commercial made hide with moistened Spagnum moss,The other photo shows a medium moist hide with Spagnum moss, a smaller dry hide that's just big enough for one to minimize dehydration and yet another small dry hide on the cool side that is JUST big enough to fit one Pyro under. You appear to JUST be paying attention to the very large cave type hide. The other flatter large ones are crammed with bedding so there is not much room for them and their backs can rest up against the interior.

Zach I do not think it's fair to make such sweeping jusgements and I hope if you re-read this you'll see how condescending you sound.

>But is it whats BEST or is it whats good enough to prevent disease? <

Zach You sound like your taking me to school on these things like you've "Arrived" dude. I hear this kind of stuuf from the kids at Petco and Petsmart that have read a few books and now want to "enlighten" me and everyone with their "expert" advice.

FR can sort of talk this way because he has years of experience but most everybody here doesnt because we are all learning. Please reread your post. I'm hoping you really don't mean to sound like you know it all.

Bob
