The above is all pure rationalization by you for your lack of success.

Who gives a flying frog dung what they do in nature. The truth is, they freely grow and reproduce when supported in nature. and they do the same in captivity. That is the real analogy.

What it takes is most likely very similar as they are the exact same animals, the ones in nature and the ones in our cages.

What the above tells me is, we, those who fail with captives, have a huge misunderstanding of what they do in nature, and have conscrewed it to fit what they want to cover their failure.

Again, I have had hundreds upon hundreds of female monitors reproduce successfully, so no offense to our field information, that is far more in context then what you or they think is important in nature. As a field herper myself, I do not see much difference at all. What I do see is confusion when folks read stuff they do not understand.

Now lets use a real example, could you explain to me how a Sav, thats from the equator in africa and from low elevation would hibernate??????????? Its from a super hot part of the world, hmmmmmmmmmm and you want? want to treat it like a corn snake. Hmmmmmmmmm I would rethink that if I were you. Please answer.
