Perhaps the original poster had already been given the proper information about the right thing to do, and required nothing else as to that question. Has that occured to you?
I'm sorry for you and your animals if you decide to make it your last post and "wing it". That's simply a rediculous impulsive decision. Not the type of keeper I figured you would turn out to be when I first began talking to you.
It's ok to disagree, but I must tell you honestly, that you have come across like a "Mister I've been doing this a few months and I think I can give advice to newcomers and discount the opinions of the more experienced."
I was keeping Horned Lizards for a good 2-3 years before I presumed to know enough to tell people what to do with them. You really shouldn't be telling anyone anything at this point in contradiction to the balance of the informed opinions here. That's just the truth. When was it that you started keeping these animals? mid-summer? People don't care much for the way I come across sometimes. I know that. But the perceived emotive force behind my messages is not the issue here. You need only concern yourself with whether the "information" in my argument is valid. I can go back and forth with Cable, Repto, and Lester on many things...but in the end our opinions on care and husbandry are much closer than they are apart. We just appear diametrically oppossed because when we dicide to disagree, we can really disagree. I don't think that keeps us from getting together at the "picnic table". You are welcome too, but lets keep a prespective here on just what kind of information you can ligitimately offer at this point in your experience. I understand what you mean with different personalities. I can be "passionate" as some would say, or as I would say "just direct or a straight talker." But I strive to be objective in those things. I get excited when someone challenges me and I have to back things up. It causes me to learn and stay sharp. I don't get bent by it. Nobody else should either, cause let's face it, what people say on this forum ain't the most pressing thing going on in my life, you know?
