First Jon, I could careless what you do, ignore of not. If you ask me, its being really silly and a bit like an ostrich. You know, its not going your way, so you stick your head in a hole.

Let me offer some advice and its not about snakes.



The first lesson in field work is, DO NOT GO IN THE FIELD THINKING YOU KNOW(anything) Doing that hinders our ability to learn. You go in the field to learn. So, you take data. You do not tell nature what its doing. It is TELLING YOU.

Here, asking questions is like that, you do not have to like the answers but to blame the person trying to help you, makes you the Arse. You do not have to take any advice or learn anything, that is your choice. But to kick the gift horse in the mouth, is all about what kind of person you are.

You seem to be a typical example of prejudice, you ask a question, then act like you already know the answer. You had already rationalized some odd scenario that was not accurate. You made it about temps, when it was not about temps. While temps and humidity are a base, its not nearly everything.

You get mad at me because I have the nads to say it like it is. The truth is, these words cannot hurt anyone, they can only help. And help you. But if you do not want help, then stop asking questions. hahahahahahahahaha Truthfully, I don't care what you do or what you learn, not for your sake, but I do care for your animals sake.

Something else that gets in your way is, you think your smart. but again, that's in error. You may be smart, unfortunately, its not about that, its about education, and your silly not educated in this area(YET).

About feeding with wild adult breeders, they feed heavily and do all their growth, during three months, july, august, and sept. And they do not stop feeding because of temps, they stop because theres no more food available. During those three months, they feed daily or as much as they can eat, they seek high temps and digest food quickly. On the otherhand,
