Yeah Mike,

Let’s see your setup for the room.

It may be a good catalyst for some good discussions on room/cage setups.

50 years keeping reptiles and I've learned something new every discussion!!!



Oh and almost a PS

I don't worry as much about indirect parasites - their primary control is in not having an intermediate host...

On direct parasites, however, it’s a whole other ballgame.

In nature a parasite that always kills its host is generally a failure on the tree of life and rare; often spatial distribution and a myriad of natural events and conditions keep the parasites in check.

.

In the confines of a cage, the potential for parasite overpopulation is much higher, even with the best of husbandry practices.
