Only issue is, people always tend to look past the people saying "this is wrong" if there is a big youtube guy with thousands of snakes and his own website, (start sarcasm) then the youtube guy has to be right, i mean, he has his own show and stuff, right? RIGHT? (sarcasm ended)

I can ALMOST excuse LLL when they had a video on youtube claiming to be a "starter setup" but nowhere did the video mention this, nor did it clearly indicate that "starter" meant for about the first week.

It was an aquarium, screen top, dome light, wood chips setup.

I whined about it all over the net until one day I was asked to stop and the video disappeared.

Brian on the other hand clearly states that he's had these lizards a long while now, so he's promoting his version of long term (A.K.A. permanent) housing to impressionable young people, many who fail to engage the common sense side of their brains, They will just copy without thinking anything through.

Also, he does clearly read this forum. or at least knows about it:

There really is nothing you can do except NOT buy any of his products, NOT watch his shows and try to get everyone else you know to not support his business. You vote with your dollar, this is no different. I wouldn't bother trying to tell this guy anything unless it was face to face, just don't support this type of business, period.

i agree snakebytes should stick to snakes. I don't think they're niles at all.
