Now let me admit, your method is superior, they grow like weeds, hmmmmmmmmm your good at it. My method is superior, I will compare my results to yours any day. again truth be told, both methods are superior. I could go on about how your method shapes the animals, but WHO CARES, they are going to WORK and work well. That would not be the point.

So whats the point? lets take you out of it. Now how well do they perform. You know, if someone without your knowledge is controlling the husbandry. Its been proven, not well, hahahahahahaha.

By giving them choices, its takes the keeper out of the decision making process and makes janitors out if us. We simply maintain the conditions and the animals make the choices. Sorry, people make good janitors. Also, each time you set up herps in conditions they make choices successfully, it teachs you what they are and how they work. In a little plastic box, it teaches you nothing. Ok, some, but not much.

In your case of under and not in. Well its kingsnakes. Use a glass tank, and bury your box in the ground. and you may find them in it and not under it. If you buried my little retes boards under the lite with one corner over a UTH. You many find they use that like crazy. Buried is the key, and why, cause that is how they live. Not how we live, how they live. End of this part. The next part comes later as I have to go clean cages, you know the janitor part.
