Ha! Ha!
I knew you would catch what I said but you didn't interpret it like I thought you would.
I wrote; "So I can just throw a female in the cage with my male and if they reproduce, great, I've allowed them to accomplish something. If they don't, no big deal. Maybe I can gain a little bit of knowledge if I check on them every month or so. Hahahaha!!!"
I meant that as a poke at the way a lot of people tend to think. A lil' bit of wry hillbilly humor, gone bad. Hahaha!!! Seems to be some that think that's all you have to do, but, yeah, you're right, there's a whole lot more to it than that. In my opening sentence I used the term "purposeful breeding." Throwing a pair together & checkin' on 'em every month or so isn't my idea of purposeful breeding. Ha!
I don't turn out quality German Shepherds by letting my female burn up the roads like my wife does when she's in heat. Wait a minute, did I say that right? Hahahaha!!! Something like that.  (If I don't post for a couple of days, or ever again, you'll know my wife read this.)
> > > " ...your opinion is common, and jaded. You want Savs, for two reasons, you have one and it was easy to get. Easy to get can mean all sorts of things."
Because "I've got one," yes, but, "easy to get" doesn't have anything to do with my thinking about breeding them, I'm blaming you for that, you rascal. Hahahaha!!!
Like I told you before, I never will forget you saying in a discussion we had that that's what monitors live for, to reproduce. At the time, we were talking about my nile and you asked if I planned on breeding it. I didn't then & still don't have any plans today to breed it (nile) but my sav holds a little more of my heart. I'm struggling in trying to do it right, to give it what I can since it's in my possession. None of my creatures are dispensible and I strive to do what a good caretaker/keeper should do.
> > > "Though this be madness, yet there is method in 't." Quote from Shakespeare's "Hamlet" - Act II, Scene II
I'm not above & beyond getting a group of ackies instead of a female sav. I've only heard a few stories about ackie groups, or any other groups of monitors.
From my experiences with groups of other animals I know there's a big difference from solitary captives. Groups are intriguing & entertaining. Heck, I enjoy watching my rats a lot of times. The things they do in groups still amazes me.
My attraction to monitors stems from my childhood infatuation of komodo dragons. This could explain my taste for the medium to large prehistoric looking monitors. I still think that there's some hidden connection between monitors & snakes that also plays a part but I've been unable to put my finger on it.
Scoop me up several ackies and meet me in Daytona. I'm headed back to FL Wednesday to take a litter of pups down to sell and I was thinking about running thru the expo. I know, I see that you're not on the vendor list. Give e'm to the Barkers & I'll look 'em up. Hahahaha!!!
Tell me a good ackie group story or two. Entice me.
Thanks for your time!
Take care!
