Correct me if I am wrong, I know you like to do that.



But isn't Bens experience with Dum's and not Rudis? I have read recently they hes starting to work with Rudis.



You know personally to me its all the same. But you fellas seem to want all monitors to be different.



Why would you recomend information from someone who has merely started.



This goes for you. In my opinion, The founders, WC's, are the begining of a program, not the program. That is, they are the start. The experience is gained from the meat of the subject. You know, many generations of captive breeding. But of course I would understand that, because I have done that.



I believe this middle or meat of the subject is where valid advice comes from, not the start.



I strongly believe this is where we totally differ. You believe the learning is in the gathering of information, the building of the original cages, etc. As opposed to me. I believe the information is gained in the actual generations of the animals in captivity(your cages, not others) I say your cages as your the one doing the talking.



When I started with varanids, most all the information was like yours, it was about the start. The problem is, to start anything is very easy. The difficult part of any job is to successfully finish. This is the hard part, to finish.



In finishing, the only person I currently know that finished(not generations, but produced many clutches) with rudis is Dragoon. I do know a ton of people who started and are working on a start. Many come here. Some have recieved clutches but did not hatch them. Which as you know, is the hard part. Cheers
