Of what zoos do, is very enlightening.
In my post, I mentions a little about chain of command. But I did not mention that many zoos are union, and all but the keepers are not allowed to touch a reptile. Its not in their job discription.
Also you cannot fire union keepers for lack of reptile ability.
As its these and many more things that cause zoos to not be very effective. Or at least as much as they absolutely could be.
For instance in the relm of conservation. Zoos produce low controlled numbers. The problem with that is, its not natural, reptiles are explosive breeders, zoos should manage them in the way they manage themselves in nature, Explosively. Thats how they managed to exsist.
Yet, in some odd way, management programs do not allow them to produce in normal quanities. You(those in charge) actively hinder the gene pool. Nature selects from a massive number. Hows that work with low numbers?
Anyway, just more things to discuss. Cheers.
