Well, FR....What I think is cool is that you are willing to extend your experience to freshman monitor students like me so that we don't have to reinvent the wheel at the expense of our animals. What I took from your post is that you didn't feel that environmental changes were the key to affecting the behavioral changes I was looking for and that allowing these juvies to muck it up was not necessarily going to cost a tail, a toe or a life. They tangled on and off all day long but both animals seem to be physically, if not spiritually, intact. Much to my surprise the smaller one came out this evening and devoured some mealworms while Godzilla looked on from his lofty perch. I will continue to study and learn in amazement. Perhaps there is hope for love in happy valley! Thanks for your wisdom FR.
