That was great Holly, as usual. I did disagree with an item or two, but I forgot what they were, so they must not have been to bad. Oh, one is covering the lite with hardware cloth, I did that many years ago, and the hardware cloth caused more trouble then the lites. My monitors never get burned messing with the bulbs. So have a knack for unscrewing the dang things. I wonder how as they only do it when I am not looking. But they do it, over and over and over.

More importantly, The darn issue of taming keeps popping up and so many newbies think your suppose to handle them X amount of hours/minutes/days, etc. The problem is, no one explains what handling means. I think they think its to grab/pick up their monitor and hold it and pet its ears(recent example from below)

I have always respected your sensitivity, so how about sharing. You see, I am not qualified as I am a breeder(so they tell me), therefore I must not any feelings or tame monitors. (another wifestail) monitors do not breed when tame. Hmmmmmm another load of poooooo. They sure do.

So Please, give it a go. Thanks
