Absolutely, I'm happy to see good discussion on the topic with varying views. It seems as though many different methods work for different people, as reptile keepers I think in general we're a little hard headed and set in our ways when it comes to husbandry. Like someone previously mentioned some forums would jump down people's throats for doing something different than what they consider to be the proper method. Glad to see this isn't what's going on here
On another note...I've kept many species of fish in my life (fresh water, saltwater, tropical and cold water). Fish are ectothermic yet we don't provide them with an opportunity to thermoregulate. I realize this is impractical in an aquarium if not nearly impossible. We keep them at a steady 78-82F range and they thrive. In nature fish often feed and remain in warmer/shallower water to digest before returning to deeper/cooler waters. I fail to see why snakes would differ.
