Keep it up and we will start getting tired of congradulating you. Good thing FR doesnt post ever time he has some monitors hatch or we would all be sick of it hahahahaha.

cheers Neal and good job.

Yeah, I think everyone is already sick and tired of congratulating me.

I don't think FR posts every single hatching, but I wouldn't exactly call him shy and modest Hahaha

Cheers,
Neal

I think I have posted somewhere in the area of one clutch in 50, that has hatched. Or muchless, consider, for a five year period, we have a clutch laid every 2 1/2 days. Then over 15 years, I have and are still averaging 5 to 15 gravid monitors at any givin time. So no, I do mostly keep it to myself.

I do post, every year or so, what happens in a single week. Then I only post about something odd.

Mostly, people do not understand what experience is.

Like you for instance, You have been having good success from a pair or so. And for a couple years, is that right. Then think of what your understanding would be after another decade or more, and dozens of generations later. Remember, I am talking about you. What kind of thoughts will you be having at that time. Then if you applied that to dozens of other species with the same results????? now what kind of thoughts would you be thinking?????????? Not me, you???? How would you treat these fine folks?

With that in mind, you should not have any doubt why I have a hard time with folks who are still dealing with the most basic of monitor keeping, you know to keep them alive. I cannot imagine that has something difficult. The information to keep them alive is out there and has been out there for decades. All they have to do is, DO IT. Cheers
