I said I wouldn't post here anymore, but it would be remiss of me not to comment on lies. Franks says:



"About Daniel Bennetts cricket feeder wild Savs, Hmmmmmmmm again READ what he wrote, He stated that the Savs on that site were very very little, the adults were tiny, he showed a pic of an adult and he was holding it by the tail with two fingers, hahahahahahaha Then he stated that Savs do not attain lengths of three feet(one meter) in nature and there is something wrong with captive Savs because if fed grow to lenghts over 3 feet, including lenghts of 4 feet are often seen. "



Frank has made this up. If he hasn't he can provide 1) the picture he talks about and 2) links or references to these statements he claims I have made. He won't be able to because he has just made it up, or imagined it.



So for the record; Adult exanthematicus eat mainly millipedes and snails in the wild, not insects. They don't often reach very large sizes in the wild, because of things they don't experience in captivity, like eagles and cobras and baboons, and months without water. The lizards at that site were very little because they were hatchlings. In my opinion the only thing "wrong" with captive exanthematicus is that they are in a box, completely isolated from their natural environment. Finally I don't hold adult monitors lizards by the tail with two fingers.



I don't know why he makes this stuff up, it isn't as if he doesn't have plenty of relevant stuff to say. I find his fabricated and personal attacks on my work deeply insulting. In future please back it up with hard evidence, or pick on somebody else.
