Re: What happened to discussion/debate in the reptile community?
People can combine theories and methodologies of care. If you go with a slightly larger than standard tubs you can actually run bio-active in them. I've never done it personally but I remember reading about it. For example I keep my snakes a little cooler than some people. I think 90 is way too hot for many snakes for a hotspot. My ambients are much more important to me and my snakes.
Some people literally freak when I say I don't really have that hot of a hotspot. I've found that this produces fewer shed problems and less reliance on overly high humidity. Now I make this work for me personally based on my house temps and climate I live in. Some people need that high hot spot just to keep their ambient temps within reason.
