It states to me, they use it at a particular time of day to escape from predators. I'm sure they spend a lot of time on the ground as well. As I've stated previously, this means to use a proper enclosure and place some height in it and they'll utilize it. They don't need it like an ETB or GTP would.

Either way, some plants suctioned to the side of an enclosure isn't a hide. The reason for that is snakes like to feel secure, that's why they coil so they can easily defend the rest of their body with their one defense, the mouth.

Quite possibly, your snake isn't digesting as I stated before it's not getting warm enough because it can't bask without feeling insecure and climbing the branches. I'd suggest that these snakes in the wild don't climb the trees to bask but use the rocks instead.

Like I said, a proper simple set up is way better. It isn't too big for a 10 gallon tank.

Lastly, you're right about one heat source in a tub or another similar enclosure. The difference being is that my heat source and the rest of the enclosure is set up for the species I keep and not for just a part of their life that I decide to focus on.
I know i just wanted to say you were wrong. Also show how showing proof of what your saying can go a long way. If people are going to argue something be will to show proof to back up your argument. Then it not really a argument such as a health and informative debate.

I'm waiting for this guy to show me evidence that this set up is common for this species and that's more beneficial than all the people who breed this species.

I'm going to e-mail those guys right now actually...

As stated earlier, you make too big of assumptions. I never said that my setup is more beneficial than all the people who breed this species. Who taught you how to argue? You take things way too far. Actually, I never meant to argue, what I meant to do was to ask you to tell me, how my set up is improper when there is a proper thermal gradient and my snake fully utilizes it.
