Becky, thanks again for your post. I worked for a vet for many years a couple years ago so i understood exactly what you were talking about. Butters I think your post was a bit offensive, i highly doubt beckys intentions were to sound "professional" i think she posted what she knew would work. Thank you BOTH for your helpful postings I look forward to our new boy healing right up since he is getting better care now.

m00k.... I have raised all but two of my animals from hatchlings, while what you said is accurate in raising another animal we saw what we liked and we got it. Simple as that. Everyone as you said is different and have different reasons for doing things. I dont regret getting this male in the least.
