Yeah, i was looking for help and all i got was "you can't do this and must do that." what is the word, pessimistic? i thought i was going to get help from people like will willis (sp?). i too have drawn away from the forum and getting your message via my email account is the only reason i'm back. i will rarely use it in the future. if at all



i had a post get yanked, but didn't know the rule about sourcing for a vendor. it was my bad. but still, it seems the site helping me in that search would help both the site and the community. i've guessed it is b/c the site wants people to pay, which is cool, but not for me.



the female has been with the male for a long time now. the eggs disappeared from her belly and i've no idea what happened to them. the male and female have a huge labrynth under the sand and i rarely see them. only about twice a week can i grab the female before she disappears into the tunnel matrix.



in summary, it was a confusing and overall bad experience getting help on the KS forum. the female and male are happy and i'm back into planning our next backpack trip.



if you get the chance. let me know what you think about the new law disallowing people to pick up reptiles and other animals along the side of roads. i, think it is just another tax that swallows up money but will hopefully reduce the wild capture of animals but placing restrictions on it. i don't understand the entire law as what would one do if they caught a wild one as a baby and have had it for years? turn it loose? could it survive? i had a great lengthy conversation with a person near el paso. we both agree the tax will support underfunded (how can anyone say any part of our gov't is underfunded with the taxes paid, btw?) bbbbbbbut hopefully this step is a step in any direction and wild populations i've heard existed in the 60's and 70's will return.



take 'er easy...rosco
