Russet77....thats OK. As long as we all stay respectful when we present our conflicting ideas. I always encourage respectful (although it can get heated...lol) discussions of different opinions on care of our beloved reptiles. I have memories of our heated discussions of everything reptiles with my still best friend Mark Mitchell DVM (he is now an exotic vet med professor at U of I.) It was one of the best times of my life. Back in the early 80s there wasn't too many good information out there and we were coming up with new ideas that we bounced off and challenged each other with. For me, I always respect and listen to "the experts" that came before me but I will not take their word without testing them and apply to my situation to come up with what works for me. There are so many "blind following of the experts" out there and I do not believe in that...especially this expert aways have not nice things to say about other people and keep pointing out to us how he is the expert. I have much respect for people like Philippe DeVosjoi and late Bert Langerwerf as they always shared their expertise without a bad word for others or their competitors.
