Humid/Misting poll

[CentricMalteser]

I am not arguing with everyone about everything, I am giving my experiences, my knowledge, and advice passed on to me by reliable sources

As for trying cause arguments, your post is inciting that and also off topic

as for the link post, that does not describe osmosis in it's context of animal cells and more of experiements done with more or less salts

therefore I will continue with the facts I have outlisted, (esp since I have NEVER had a problem shed with anyof the 30-40 odd snakes I have raised)

and leave you with your problem sheds

and also suggest Naagas you stop posting off topic and anything that can incite acrguments.

Wow. Umm... nope, sorry. Dead cells still absorb water. You can't change the laws of physics by arguing on this forum. I don't really care what you believe about cells, or if you believe the earth is flat or that Elvis is still alive. Just, for the love of all that is holy, stop trying to argue with everyone about everything. At least wait until you get a few more posts under your belt before you start making everyone think of you as someone just looking for an argument.

I am sorry I am going to have to agree on this one. It just seems that every post is no where near answering the question at hand, just to get your opinion out or completely contradicts what EVERYONE is saying.

PS For those interested. I did do a science experiment that is posted in the other thread. If you are interested in the results.

Yup. Exactly.
Anyhow, I stopped trying to use humid hides with moss because of all the mold.
Mold would grow overnight, and that is just gross. Plus, cleaning out hides daily is time consuming.
Also, even in Utah (which is a desert) I have only had a handful of bad sheds.

Does using a humid hide, or misting help the shedding process ?

Only if there IS a shedding issue.

I only needed to use a humid hide once for my first snake Lenny. After that I have had no shedding problems with my other snakes. But if I did I would use one after the "blue" because that would be a sign to prepare one.

That's what I like about Corns. They follow the KISS theory.

Most questions do NOT have a definitive answer, and therefore that is when tried and tested methods come into play and, opinions and ideas come from,

an example of one would be "what are the reasons for regurge?" there are plentiful of answers, many with different opinions that cannot be solved by facts

eg, a reason for regurge is temps not right, but this is a fact that can be checked, and if temps are fine this is not the answer

however, it could be someones opinion it may be stress related, however, there is no way of testing this, and thats when it becomes opinion!

though mine answers tend to have a scientific based answer

I would also point out your experiment as 2 flaws, 1 being that you never use that much water with a snake, and secondly the weight of the water may cause splits which caused the leak

if you did one where you opened but NOT stretched the skin say over a beaker and used a pippette to drip water on this, then see if it would come through the skin into the beaker, which you will find it will not!

and my opinion does not contradict EVERYONES opinion,

that is your opinion, and if you feel that way, then why again like another member try to incite an argument about it?!

Centric, its not that its an opinion its that your blatantly ignoring the Science. If you can find scientific articles like ive been posting in both threads to disprove eveyone elses points i will fold. but until then its still psudo science and false facts. Both about skin permiability and osmosis... whuch both play a part in the shedding process. Youre either the best troll ever or really closed minded to the facts and learning, i dont say this in a mean way and i hope it doesnt come a cross as mean, just really concerned that others could read the misinformation and come to incorrect conclusions with their pets heath at stake. Link me to articles and information! Ive been researching as weve been debating and i would love to be proven wrong if i am with real facts and peer reviewed information.
