Alkaline habitats and acidic habitats are known to divide species, plants, insects, and animals. So why do we use sphagnum moss. That's easy to answer, cause you can buy it, with your money, from your pocket. All it does is, hold moisture. No more, no less. In that, its good.

So why do hogs seem to have egg binding problems. I don't know, you tell me? But if you want to call egg binding normal. You need to be wacked on top your head. In the end, this is not about biology or science, its more about common sense, your snakes having a problem, FIX IT. they are not having a problem, no worries.

Caracal, if yours are fine, good, its not about you. But if this helps one other person and their snakes, then its all good. And there are lots of folks with problems. This is why I continue to have this conversation. It may indeed help others. Its also why I guide it back to something USABLE, and not theoretical. So please do not feel bad that I do not follow your train of thought. You love theory and making all manner of hypothesis, and your welcome to do so. Me, its all about, the animals IN MY CAGES, then others cages, If there is a problem that we can help fix. Caracal, lets do it, lets try. Our conversation really should lead to something of use. or at least test. All those things like facts, an theory an proof etc. are all at the end of the rainbow. did it work?

The OTHER problem is, most here that argue, do not have a point, other then to discredit someone else. So debate turns ugly. This is called trolling by TROLLS. If you have a better way, shout it out.

Caracal, to me, your a bit too academic(ideas not pertaining to a hypothesis, testable) Me, I see a hog nesting in sand, I get shovel dig up sand and test it. I do not need to theorize, hypothesis, or anything else. just test it. Why, cause its fun to learn. If don't work, adjust try again.
