: Where do alternas deposit their eggs? Where do the neonates forage? What do the neonates feed on? When does the mite parasitize subocularis? Where do Trimorphodon spend the winter? When do Sonora copulate? Do neonate Pituophis forage above ground? What did this guy in NJ know? How to collect a lot of bog turtles? I have yet to see his contributions. You are either a liar or the most uninformed person I have ever met.

These are all very basic questions. If you don't have any good answers for these then you had better get out in the field. I guartantee you that either John or myself could answer these questions if so inclined. You definetly don't need a degree to answer these questions. An example: you would know this if you spent a lot of tome in the field. Babie alterna's are almost never caught in the open. An absolute rarity. Because they are so easily preyed upon they spend almost all of there time foraging underground. Where they eat insects, small lizards, small snakes. They have very wide diets. It is also interesting that when cruising the roads in West Texas that the baby atrox appear in huge numbers on the road. I have noticed over the years that the the baby black tails can never be found in the open. But the adult populations can some nights dwarf in comparison the adult atrox populations. My observations on West Texas animals could fill a book. I guess this is not any help to any biologists though. Like John says, they probably wood feel they could not drop down to our level. I have argued points with biologists, and I knew they were dead wrong. But you cannot seem to get through the barrier when one is waived in your face. I like biologists. But I like honest and open ones. The kind that can use commom sense along with their degree. It makes them very valuable to the community and the animals.
