Not every bit of knowledge requires many generations of experienc. I know that I do not simply spout things from text books, but rather allude to observations I have made. I think that this is the case with many who have posted here that do not have generations of monitors to show for it.
Also, my point was that while he says there is more than one way to do things, he attacks everyone else's ways. He started this thread as an attack as someone who was not targeting him. It is hipocritical and I was simply pointing it out while using an example relavent to his point.
Once again, you do not need years of experience with monitors to know that UV is needed by other diurnal lizards, and though it may not be necesarrily needed by monitors, they probably do have a certain relationship with it and it may have psychological and/or physical effects.
I respect that he has lots of experience with varanids and I wouldn't argue with him over specific care requirements exclusive to montiors. Some topics that are relavent to monitors, however, can be relavent to other species and there are connections to be made.
I personally, just wish that he would disagree with people in a less hipocritical and unkind way.
