Nasicus,

I am not defending or anything here. Just going to tell you what is going on with Franks cage build incase you are unclear on what it is about. The type of caging he is building is something that will offer a large surface area for basking, feeding, and other surface activities and the draws on the bottom under the surface area will act as the deep area for thermo-regulating, maintaining hydration, nesting, and other under surface activities. I have seen this type of caging before and Troy has seen it as well at Bob Applegates place. In fact, I believe Troy has been kicking around with the idea of building something similar for a very long time now, before Frank made his post about it.



Nasicus, I can tell by your posts and I know for a fact from talking with Jonny that neither of you are stupid people. This arguing back and forth with Frank is stupid and will get you nowhere fast. I know why what Frank says to you hurts your feelings. I have been down this road with Frank many years ago. However, once I removed my ego from the situation, things became more clear. What Franks says is harsh to those of us with an inflated ego. I have a big ego, I have earned it, and it is fine to have one. You just need to learn to put it aside once in a while. In the big picture, is anything that Frank says to you going to keep you from wanting to keep reptiles or force you to change what you do? If the answer is no, why do you get so frustrated?



In my opinion, this has all just turned into a game. You and Jonny know if you address Frank, you will get a reaction it you know it will never turn out well. If you want positive reactions and posts, we should all keep this about hogs and not our egos. This goes for me, you, Frabk, Jonny, and anyone else.
