NP about the help. Glad to have you aboard! I agree that this is a wicked site for all things herp, with friendly people clearly devoted to the well-being of their animals. I'm so glad I found this place. I was reading the forums and asking questions for a while before I got my own BP, and thanks to the helpful nature of many dedicated members I was well prepared. (So I owe another round of thanks to all the members myself!)

I have a question about the ear! Is the ear plug more akin to a tattoo - in that it is permanent - or is it more like a piercing which will usually close up on itself if not used for a while?
