Knowing Frank he would probably do alright in his "natural" environment. In fact I'm picturing a Robinson Crusoe scene. LOL. Complete with cages with all the native fauna reproducing like crazy.

The condescending tone in regards to the mythical Retes method is definitely unneeded. Whether you like it or not whether you agree with him or not, You have to admit that Frank is doing something that very few people have been able to reproduce and in some areas (the consistency that he breeds varanids) he is unmatched at. The methods he tries to explain to you guys are the same that have led to success with not only his varanids but other varanid breeders across the GLOBE.

I believe Frank's point with the parasites is that when it comes to husbandry we are more worried about the speck of dust in one eye (parasites) than the 2" x 4" (overall husbandry) sticking out of the other.
