To try to make this easier & quicker for us all, let me combine my replies to you both.



Actually, Johnny Nash's hit from '72 pretty well sums it up for me.

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,

I can see all obstacles in my way

Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind

It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)

Sun-Shiny day.



Thanks to Frank's earlier explanation and Tom's clarification (his 2nd post) I see how it could be possible to keep up high volume imports of savs. It took both of those posts, combined, but I think the tipping point was TC's "Animals usually have one of two reproductive strategies. They either have few offspring with a high percentage reaching breeding age or they have tons of babies with few surving."



I think that comment completed the circle for me, the so-called "missing link" for me.



FR wrote; "If we keep talking, just maybe some great ideas will pop up."



Frank, are you there? Frank? Frank? Frank, wake up, you're dreamin', dude, it's me HH. Hahahahahaha!!!





FR wrote; "Tom hit the nail on the head. Complex social structure."



Yeah, that jumped out at me when I read it, too. I applied it in more ways than one and saw how true it is.



Tom, I also liked the way you ended your last post with "As a last thought all Varanids have COMPLEX SOCIAL STRUCTURES and one has to listen to the lizards to be sucessfull."



And not everyone can read, listen & interpret animals. And I won't even mention the role of commonsense.





(FR) "Humans are funny beasts, for every explorer, theres many thousand homesteaders. Most simply want to follow and not blaze their own trail. Or so it seems."



It's not "so it seems," it's "so it is." That's the way it is. I don't mind putting up with a tag-along for awhile, it's the cling-ons that irritate me. Heh, heck, I'm being a tag-along right here, right now, but I periodically let go & try to balance myself. At least I think I do.



Take just a minute to think about what you said in the quote above, Frank. How real-to-life that could be at this very moment.



I'm not saying this is the case in this situation, just how true-to-life it could be.



Trailblazers are most always having to deal with negative opinions from the people that believe the trailblazers are headed down the wrong path. Most of the time the differing opinions come from well-meaning people but it still wears on the trailblazers as much as the actual blazing of the trail does.



Ever been in that position before, Frank? Hahahaha!!! I know you have, and I, for one, am glad you persevered. Not knowing much about Tom but based on what I do know, I'm betting he's been there before, too.



Are Mike & Mike (lizardheadmike & HH) trying to be the trailblazers? Ha! Ha! No, not me. And I'm not saying lizardheadmike is, either. Just a thought inducer, that's all.



I love inducing thought!



TC & FR,

Don't feel like you have to reply to this on my account. I think I'm pretty well squared away now on sav importation. Thanks for ya'll's time & input!



Oh, by the way, Tom, my apologies for jobi being out of his cage when you dropped in on us. We normally keep him locked up and very seldom let him free-roam like that. Hahahaha!!!



Have a good one!

HH
