THE WINNERS AND LOSERS



There are many petty folks on this forum that are concerned about winning or losing. He wins, no the other wins, bla bla bla.



The reality is, Crocdoc is a winner. And I am also a winner, we both have produced many lacies. Which again means, we are both winners.



So who are the losers, not us! its those that get confused and FAIL with their monitors. Those are the losers in a human sense.



Even more importantly, the monitors that fail are the real losers.



What keeps me away from this forum is that, why on earth do you petty folks have to make it about people and winners or losers. Particularly when you have no concept who or what the losers are.



Some folks really have no clue, like Gregg and his FR's method. I have explained a million times, I have lots of methods, I am not stuck to one or the other, I will use nest boxes if needed, or outdoors, or indoors, or indoor outdoor, or dirt, or leaflitter, or plastic boxes, or wooden boxes. I have lots of experience with all of those methods.



I do not claim to be smarter then anyone, I just have results. The smartest thing I did was build a facility that included all the options.



The dumbest thing I do is report results to people who have not concept how to understand the results. So yes, I am the dumb one here.



That said, If you are trying to nest lacies, I would recomend using a method that has worked in captivity, deep leaflitter, a nest box made out of wood(George Horn style, he did that way before crocdoc) Hollow logs(a natural wooden box) or deep warm soil. All these have been successful.



Which one you choose, is up to you. Why you folks want to make it about people, well I think thats dumber then me reporting results. Good luck and keep at it.



















Thanks Krusty for teaching me to post pics
