Calculation of population with respect to captives.

Oscar Parsons Aug 10, 2004 02:19 AM

I'm curious if we can work together on something. If everyone could provide some information what animals they keep. I'm hoping to put together a statistic of Animals Vs. Posters.

In other words, what sort of demographic we're looking at for our posting population. I'll post the information and the graphics so everyone can see them, and I can also keep some of them confidential if you're concerned about privacy.

In this manner we can find out about the audience in which we're speaking within, and we can also provide specific information to each poster. If our humble hosts could also provide information of the sort of traffic we get that would be a bonus as well. If you aren't concerned about your privacy please post your information, if you ARE please email me your information at OgreFade@yahoo.com. Feel free to post common or scientific name (unless kept private), please include your name (unless kept private) and the number of animals and their genders (Unknown genders are OKAY!).

I'll go first.

Name Varanids Gender Number
Oscar Yellow Ackie M 1
Savannah monitor M and F 2
Freckled Monitor M 1

Its that simple, if you can follow that format great, if not I'll dig out the information. Once I have some data I'll start collating and relay the information back to the forum!

Thanks very much everyone for your contributions.

Just got home and checked the incubator, so...

I'm still David

They're still lace monitors
Varanus varius

but the count is now
1.1.5

6 eggs incubating at day 225

I'm jumping the gun a bit (counting my goannas before they hatch), but one did pip today so by the time you guys read this it should be out of the egg.
