Sorry Greg, I only know what you tell me.



So here, you have only mentioned one Sav. and your thoughts are very similar to that experience level.



Also about attacking me, how silly of you. I do sanctioned field work authorized by the state, permits required etc. Been doing that for a very long time.



But thats not the point, the point is Varanids.



If you would take the time to read, I stated that varanids are very generalized, and that can and does mean SIMPLE.



The point is, if they are so simple, why haven't other reptile experts had ANY SUCCESS, muchless some success. Why haven't you.



Also attacking my spelling, how ignorant of you. That has nothing to do with varanid experience. That you have so little, out of of that resume, you pick out a misspelled word, hahahahahahaha why heck Gregg, you could do that in just about any paragraph I write.



The point is still the same, your theories, are identical to a long list of those before you, I only respond to you, with hopes that you do not have to go through the same set of failures those others have.



To put it simple, if you want a pet sav, then keep up with your theories, your sav will grow well, become adult, then perish looking very fat and healthy. That is the true history of your approach.



If your intentions are to breed them, and you have a unique individual, which means you cannot just go get another one, You really should listen to those with repeated success with varanids. It would be to your advantage.



ALso, if you are really good, you would adapt and change to the needs of your monitor, but because you put up this stubborn fight and do not try to listen, my bet is again, your in for a very hard time.



Again with varanids, its not the physical part thats a problem. In fact, to me, they are far easier then other reptiles. The problem is BEHAVIORAL. which is often ignored with other reptiles.



Also, hi metabolism reptiles are kept out of the hobby, as they are too much work and do not follow recipe husbandry. You know, the fast active types of any group.



So I wish you well. Again, I do not know you from Adam, so unless you can tell me something or give me something to go by, thats all I know of you. Again, your approach is all I have to go by, and its common and in all cases resulted in failure. I do wish I could not say that.



Again, naivity is not knowing, you call them simple, because you never experienced the complicated part. Which is pairing and nesting. That result in hatchable eggs. Oh by the way, very few other reptile types will throw eggs at you like varanids do. Its the hatchlings that are rare. Cheers
