I will ignore you when you deliberately try to flame me, and this you often do!
I have been offering information you are free to use or not, the problem is when you don’t understand or disagree with the information I offer, you post in contradiction to stir the put rather then debate about my views.
This is annoying and disrespectful for someone posting to help.

This post is a good example, your first statement implies the need for height (witch has nothing to do with your lizard clinging to the top) of course you knew why he’s doing this, your reference to heat shows your understanding.

You also make reference to open top, of course you know my take about open tops and why I don’t use them, this to you don’t understand.

In your lower post you show a nice acanthosaura ssp of the same specie we are discussing, of course your is much larger then those we posted, you showed the bulges of an obvious male, perhaps you think I am wrong in my statement about them not showing bulges? We they do but only when mature, many varanids are the same, some species show obvious bulges very young while others only bulge when sexually mature, this making sex id difficult. My intent was to inform the poster the animal was most likely a male even though others though it was female.

When I do this it is not in provocation and sure as hell not to argue, its simply to inform and help others, knowing these things allow to focus on things that matters most.

I post about lizards without concern for keepers, they don’t interest me in anyway, if the lizards do well my job is done.

Next year or the year after chances are you will no longer keep these lizards? however I have been keeping them a long time and will keep them long after you stop. Maybe this is why I make no efforts to be nice, however I am not rude either.
I do like your intellect and find your sense of humour delightful, but I am her to talk lizards not to make friends.

Now if you can honestly say you haven’t learn anything from me, that you don’t use any of my experience in your husbandry, then I am wasting my time on these boards.
