Hmmmmmmmmmmm good question, I am tooooooooooo radical to write books. I want to make people FIGHT. Seriously, to sell books is to placate people. That's not my bag. U know walk a line to not upset anyone, dude that's not me. Also, as a long term field herper, and being kinda long in the tooth. Field information has only shown to HARM animals, not help them. The more people know, the more wild animals are abused. Roger Conant taught me that. I found an undescribed gecko(they're still that way) and he say, if you describe it, all that will happen is abuse, by science, by private, etc etc. He said, sooner or later, they will be found and abused. So each day they are not known is a good day.

About captive stuff, hmmmmmmmm I took the approach that helping a few people really well(here) is better then barely helping a whole lot of people(books) a tiny bit. As you may have noticed. It takes more then one reply or paragraph to start folks to think. Most have no many prejudices(preconceived notions) and poor internet recipe(for the masses) information to make a book useful. ALso my good friend is a herp book publisher and says, there is no money in books and a lot of work. Information is going digital, like what we are doing here. He tells me, that pet shop

(paperbacks) books make money, but real books cost to much and very few buy them. I think if there is a book, its more about the culture of keeping and how its changing. Best wishes
