I find you quite ignorant (as in not very knowledgeable) about varanids; they are very sophisticated, intelligent animals, undoubtably capable of learning to a great extent...
You seem to have a very "old fashioned" view of reptiles as being somehow inferior, at least in cognative abilities, when compared to mammals?
Can I ask how many times you`ve bred V. exanthematicus, as you mention you always offered a "nest box" and they always used it?
Who said these should never be used, or wouldn`t work?
You have some strange ideas about these animals in the wild (I refer to our discussion on another forum), where you seem to suggest the wild is almost a "picnic" for varanids; food always available, they have no trouble securing a meal each day??
I`m guessing you`ve never seen a varanid in it`s country of origin (in person), you surely haven`t explored my country (Australia), or Africa, India, Asia etc, if you think the wild`s a "paradise", because some of your remarks were unbelievably naive!
OBVIOUSLY, ALL captive varanids would flourish if conditions were such they were fully supported, so lets hear your "secrets", and what the vast majority should do to get it right, so the wholesale slaugher can stop.....(You clearly think you have the answers).
