My point in no way suggested not to write or read books if you look at my entire thread. If I was to read a book and excerpt without using my brain such as the Bengal Monitor eating mostly insects and small forage without realizing that the animals I received were eating Chicken Scraps from a garbage dump for successive generations or that the sample was only 2% of the entire population since the range is extensive a reader might be mislead. What if an Island population took a liking to nestling birds and has evolved to eat birds? As frank pointed out with Lacey’s some are cold tolerant some are not. You missed the gist of what I was saying and I will say it so you can understand it. I was offering the requested information to the person requesting the information since no one else did. I the stated my credentials and that was I had none (I was being honest) so being unfamiliar with Daniels book I told the reader that not all books are accurate and you would have to agree with that if you were honest. To many people read to many books with differing accounts of a pseudo-truth. As stated the reader was interested in acquiring and breeding them and as Frank stated Daniel compiles data and does not necessarily have all the answers.
