Whilst you didnt state that you actually did these things by posting what you said in that way it leaves you open to the sort of responses that you got, imo.

No, I inferred nothing. I stated that temp fluctuations by 15 to 20 degrees are not only safe, but happen daily in the wild. What part of that is massive temp fluctuations? The difference to a snake from 68 in the morning to 88 in the late afternoon is a daily affair. Would you care to state why you believe this to be unsafe?
And I didn't infer anything about things not being sterile. I actually stated that I don't worry about it too much. Do you bake your substrate before use? Do you bleach your enclosures daily? I sure don't. I change my water 2 times a week, washing my bowls once a week.
Rarely do I infer anything. I state exactly what I mean and stand by it. Did you question my specifics before throwing out accusations? Or did you take for granted that I was wrong?
It's easy to throw out blank statements and accusations without specifically defending your position. It is my hope that most people on the boards I frequent are mature and intellectual enough to carry on a healthy debate without throwing out blind statements on a whim. This is how people learn who read these threads.
By the way, have you taken a look at my thread on "More Accurate Temps"? I believe you will find I monitor my temps quite sufficiently.
I hold no grudges on these forums, but I do expect a certain degree of mutual respect when calling someone out. In the future, it would do certain people well by asking for clarification instead of attacking with statements meant to demean - which does nothing at all aside from making the attacker feel superior, but also making them look quite foolish.
