I'm so happy for you! Also glad to see you posting again, you have been missed!

I do understand you not posting pics. I just found that one of my photos, well, not even mine but one that was given to me to be used on my site, was being used in a classified ad. It was supposidly given to the seller by his wholesaler and he said he didn't know it was copyrighted. I swear the photo of the gono that he was using as another MHD species was one of your gono photos but since you took all of yours down I couldn't verify it.

I get so tired of having to put that copyright across all of my photos. It is too darned time consuming! This guy then had the brass to chew me out because I cost him a weeks worth of sales! He doesn't realize that he and all of the other jerks who are selling their CH babies that they learned to hatch because of my article and our hard work for $15-25 each are costing me sales and putting me in a bind too. I can't get rid of my babies and it is costing me too much to feed them. I want to learn to incubate but what is the use?

I have a capra-like that is gravid but what am I to do with the babies once they hatch?

Then there are kids biting the pet shops lies hook line and sinker believing that thier MHDs are CBs so they won't even look at my animals. I don't know why I am doing this any more!

Jobi, can you remind me? I love my animals, and I love the exchange of information with all of you here but what am I to do with the hatchlings? I can't afford to keep them all!

I am really happy for you and I am excited to have 3 gravid armata but I am worried about the idiots that are out there marketing these animals. The fact is that they are still considered disposible pets and are no more to the reptile industry than guppies are to the fish industry.

Tell me I am wrong and give me a little piece of hope here someone. I get into this funk every now and then because of the jerks out there. I need someone to give me a moral boost here! Please!?!
