At least you won't have to worry about hurricanes spoiling the party! :)

The way I figure it is this. What happens in the wild (and since none of us regularily trot over to Ghana and stroll around we don't actually know do we) but whatever happens there makes not one whit of difference.

The fact is we place a living creature, be that a ball python, crested gecko, breeder/feeder rat, whatever in an enclosed environment and hopefully we do that with good research beforehand and a responsible attitude thereafter. That creature is now 100% our responsibility, every day, every minute, for every sip of water it takes and every feeding it consumes. Not when it's convenient or because it's "cool" or we read something on some forum that we didn't bother to verify...every day, every minute we are responsible for it's right to thrive, not just to survive.

Case in point. I keep a breeder/feeder colony of rats. In the wild rats live in garbage dumps, inside walls of abandoned buildings. Does this mean I should let my colony live in filth just because wild rats can survive those conditions. Of course not, I want my rats (as much as the snakes, crestie, etc.) to thrive in our care. So we do our research, we follow the best advice of many people with experience in the area of husbandry we need to know about and we strive provide the best captive life possible for every living thing in our home that is confined by our choice not theirs to a tank or tub.

To do anything less is in my not always very humble opinion, a disservice to the creature and a shame on the human being calling all the shots.

Now did I read something about well brewed coffee and calorie rich food??? :banana:

Doh! I might not be going after all. :( :irkd: I have a wedding I have to go to on the 23rd. I still might try to make it on that Sunday, though.

<Sigh> The nerve of some people... scheduling their wedding day on the same day as NARBC! Maybe I'll just bring my snakes to the wedding and have my own little expo. :zerb: :snake2:
