A Thank You for Frank

After considering your "sharpening advice" into consideration, it only took one day of no food items for my argus to realize that it had to see me for food. I didn't offer any food and turned off the lights at night. The next day it came out as soon as it heard me in the room and I rewarded it with food. The next day as soon as the lights came on it was out looking for a meal. Again I rewarded. These are extremely wonderful and intelligent creatures that we are priveledged to observe.

Thanks Again,
Dave

Hi Dave, in the future, you can allow the lites to be on 24/7, if you want, once your monitors has learned what you have taught him, he will stay that course and use other times to be private. Please remember, monitors need cool too. FR
