I know you did Mark and it was funny. What I wrote was not directed to anyone on this forum and what I said was way too harsh in the first place. It stemmed from someone bringing over here on Thanksgiving a GORGEOUS 2' Rhino Iguana with a round third degree burn on it's back from a SINGLE hot bulb in a vision cage and he basically cooked the small part of the poor lizard trying to bask. I got so upset with this guy for being that stupid that I felt like slapping him. Then when I was going to explain a little more clear on this forum I thought about the poor lizard and got carried away with the post. I apologize for it and it had little to do with this forum. It is true however that many folks buy lizards on a whim without understanding even basic lizard husbandry and then the poor lizard suffers. A little research before buying something as complex to keep as a Cyclura would be a smart thing to do but many times isn't done. After I read what I posted I was sorry I did and certainly meant no harm.. All I'd really like to do is to assist anyone needing any help of any kind.
