Sorry I am taking up more space...

When you say its unfortunate that they favour their high hides, surely they would know what's best for them. Or do you really need to protect them from themselves?

The comment about the calcium deficiency - I didn't quite understand....is it suggested that DPS causes calcium deficiency ir calcium deficiency can lead to DPS?

I noticed our local wildlife park dusts their food with calcium powder just prior to offering it to their pythons.
