It's taking some time, but I'm beginning to understand you.
Tireless hours of trying to help stubborn people would make the kindest of people calloused, I know I get cranky with folks too.
I'll take what you said as a compliment and leave it at that.
Yes I do have an underlying agenda, if I can save even one Sav from suffering the fate of my last.. then I am a happy man.
as I see more and more people building big strong sealed cages and filling them with dirt, I smile at my screen.
And get this, those slender killing machines are eating (GASP) rodents. the thing is, they can actually metabolize that food and not get fat, they burn the fuel as energy, and that's a very good thing. They currently bask at 147 and love it. (Measured with a PE2 temp gun.)
"Tame" and trust are not the same, as I bet anything that if I leashed up one of these beasts, they would rip the cord right out of my hand as soon as their feet hit the ground.
If I want "obedience" I have dogs.. If I want to watch a primeval predator, I stare into my monitor cage.
easy as that...
As for my husbandry, it's a thousand percent better than most of the world, I'm just sorry it took the death of a lizard to get there, but if I recall you lost a few along the way too.
to achieve the sweet taste of "success" one must first swallow the bitter pill of failure...
