Question for Mark Seward

Sighthunter Jan 20, 2006 09:40 AM

Is there any data on the pH in reptile blood? Humans it is 7.4. My question is number one what is the pH in reptile blood and is it the same at differing temperatures? I have found out that albumin in general IS sensitive to change in pH, it re configures at different pH levels. Additionally egg albumin tends to FAIL on the alkaline side of the pH spectrum. There is a failure rate on both extremes of the pH scale for albumen. Ever notice reptile eggs that look cooked when they fail? I am going to experiment and offer a pH in my substrate that mimics the pH in the reptile’s blood.

“Guess I am not important enough to dignify a reply. I will remember that.......”

What kind of snarky comment comment is that!!! Sighthunter, I’ve responded to your posts four times in less than a week. Your statement above is absolutely ridiculous. I am always anxious to discuss Heloderma and am more than happy to share whatever experience I have with anyone. I have a long and documented history to substantiate that statement.

Recently I’ve been consumed by a current project and I don’t have the time to constantly be on this forum. Regardless of that, I have no tolerance for the childish drivel expressed in your post.

My apology. My post sat there for a while and I felt put off. I am just gearing up for breeding and I am just trying to do it right by asking questions. I have heard that you are actualy very accomodating and again I owe you an apology. My post was most disrespectful.........Bill
