I did not say you did, but consider generations also indicate that your hint of a possibility of something of some harmful event, is also discounted. As generations are about as far as the state of keeping goes.

The possibility of harmful events are everywhere and can also be used against your arguement. For instance, theres a far greater possibility that UV does not have hidden benefits, as it has not been expressed in dozens of generations. Consider, we have something in the neighorhood of 118 generations of monitors here at Goanna Ranch. So far so good.

consider all sorts of adverse events could happen, I bet more other events will occur before UV related events occur.

Consider I have heard this defense before. You know, "yea but somewhere somehow it will show up and cause harm? All I can say to that is, when that day comes and that event happens, I will deal with it then, in the meantime, I will use what has shown to work.

Which is the same defense for this countries forced inbreeding of many species. If and when the day comes that its a problem, then we will deal with it.

Consider our results are still cutting edge.

My only advice to you as a keeper is, worry about the here and now. Do the things that are known. Take each step, one at a time. What happens in the future will take care of itself or not. Cheers
