I've always said that caresheets should only be used for establishing a starting point and not followed to the "T" on a day-by-day basis. And that's for ANY reptile.

I remember the phrase or term you're talking about that Tom made, he said it when we were discussing savs being imported and captive bred. It stuck with me, too. I remembered the words "social" & "complex" but couldn't remember what order or what the other word was. I had to go back & look it up and what he said was that varanids have a "complex social structure." What you said was close enough for government work. I think you know I'm not correcting you with ill intentions. I'd correct Tom if he messed up your "heat 'em & feed 'em" line. Ha! Ha!

I've got an idea! To keep these sayings pure so they don't change we'll translate 'em to Latin, you know, like they do scientific names.

Alright, I'll say that Tom's phrase is "complex social creatures." Here it is in Latin, so memorize it, copy/paste it into one of your important monitor folders.

"complex social creatures" - universa amicabiliter creatura

"heat 'em and feed 'em" - estus lemma quod nutritor lemma

I read it another one of your posts, now quit rubbin' it in you lucky rascal. Ha! Ha! I've only been a few times this year but haven't seen the first one at night. Heck, I've only seen one snake (alive) on the roads all year and it was a Timber Rattler. Everybody else around here has seen plenty but I reckon my timing's off or I'm losing my touch.

Catch ya later!
