I know that you're not threatening me, I was refering

to the "Neal your treading on dangerous ground". As a

subject line it does sound a bit threatening. I'm only

making light of that line. However it did seem that you

were implying I was wrong about spotlights.



Althouh I'd like to help all the newbies keep their

monitors healthy and happy, thats pretty much impossible.

The only way they will learn is the hard way. I seems

this forum is good for posting pics and talking about

monitors. The original poster on this Screened lid topic

has probably has not even read all our responses. Maybe

they already decided it was too much trouble and passed

the sav off to someone else. I mean who knows if they

really care about a $5 lizard.



I have never burned any holes in any monitors. I have

however made other serious mistakes. One might have

been selling my entire monitor collection just as I was

getting some to breed. The two ackies in the photo turned

out to be both males.



Actually 'temp guns' have been around for industrial

purposes for much longer that herpers have been using

them. That is not how I determined the temps though.

If used properly a standard cheapo thermometer can

measure the basking spot temps. It may not be quite

as precise the temp guns we all use now, but it does

the job. What did you use to measure the basking temps

in 1993?



In the coming weeks and months I will no doubt post many

photos of monitors I have kept. If I point out that you seem

to be subtley implying I'm a liar, does that make me too

sensitive?



I'm sure that you have hatched more monitors than I ever

will. I do disagree with some of the definitive statements

that SHvar makes. To say that it is impossible to create

a hot enough basking spot with a screened top is simply

not true.



I have a good deal of respect for you Frank. If you can say

"Neal your treading on dangerous ground" can't I say "Frank

are you threatening me?"? I guess my sense of humor is a bit

too dry.
