>>You are very correct. Now my question to you is..... How many people out there would meet your expectations? I'm sure that you will agree with me... there are many persons out there saying they consider themselves as knowledgeable as a "properly' trained herpetologists, which we know is bull. There are numerous people out there with tons of knowledge from information gathered but not many of maybe, your caliber or that of Peter Kahl or Herpetologists Dave and Tracy Barker.
The problem is, its so hard to tell who knows what they are talking about anymore. We have people selling nicaraguan boas as cay caulkers, and many people don't know the difference. Those of us who do know the difference can easily point out the difference between the two, but its up to the person selling the boas to change the ad.
I'm nowhere near as knowledgeable as Kahl or the Barkers, but it would be nice if I knew what they knew!
