I'm glad to see the lack of animosity. It can sometimes be difficult to tell when dealing with written word on a forum. Of course I was referring to a broader range of people who present themselves as taking one thing as gospel as opposed to stopping and thinking about anything said, good, bad, ridiculous or anything inbetween. Imagine twenty years ago if someone (and maybe they did) piped up with "Hey, give your spiny tail monitor a basking spot of 200 degrees, they'll love it". Heck, that is enough to slow cook a turkey, no way I am doing that. What a loon to suggest that. Now though, well 200 degrees still seems a little warm to me, but 150-170 seems just right and that is not too far off (still can heat up some hotdogs on the basking spot if you get hungry). So call me a loon but no matter how dumb an idea might seem I'm going to atleast give it a little thought, and I hope everyone here (new, old, argumentative, helpful and lurking) does the same.
