I use the term "expert" lightly, if you didn't notice the quotation marks. I've yet to find an expert and doubt that I will in my lifetime. I have spoken with Kevin and Melissa both, and found them both to be helpful and supportive. I still belong to both the IML and the Den mailing lists, altho I rarely read the IML anymore, just too much crap to sift thru. I do read the Den list on a daily basis, I like some of the people there alot, and in fact, I'm an operator on Kevin's chat channel. I both agree and disagree with information on both of their sites. I believe that they are both highly dedicated to improving captive iguana care. I just have a problem with the inflated egos and competition. I'm not in a position to slam anyone and that's not the way I operate. Personally, I'm grateful to both Kevin and Melissa(and Jen and Steve and anyone else that has info out there) for sharing their experience and information. They've given me the option to find out as much as I can and make my own decisions on how to care for my animals. I just get tired of people tooting their own horn, so to speak. Travis, I'm pretty sure that we agree on a lot of things......on this point let's just agree to drop the subject. OK?
