You underlined a snippet of text from an approximately 15 year old series of articles. Even though you clearly are attempting to discredit Frank by insinuating that he is providing contradictory information by recommending rodents now, when he seeminly advised against them in the past. However, even though you took that snippet totally out of context, we can still partially see the column of text to the right, in which Frank discusses that varanids need foods based on metabolic need and age. Such as the need for more calorically rich foods during growth and reproduction stages of life and restriction of calories to prevent obesity in old age. Clearly, based just on the text you weren't able to crop out, we can see that there is much more to Frank's response than you'd have us believe in your underlined sentence. I have all three parts of that Vivarium interview and the overwhelming majority of the information presented then, is still of great value today.

I wonder why someone would try to distract from an informative post regarding diet that could be very helpful to people? Hmmmm.
