Being the one who has suffered from his mouth a little worse than most, I have to say tht after yesterday I agree with Bon and Gina. It's just not worth posting here if every time someone doesn't like an answer you give they attack you. I won't presume to speak for them but this whole thing has made me think twice about answering anyone's questions lately.

It's hard not to get angry when I see someone mistreating their animals -it's even harder when it seems as though that person is doing it on purpose. I see it enough in real time with each new iguana that comes through our doors and I feel helpless enough when I can't help an iguana that is right in front of me, let alone one who is being discussed on a message board. I have seen through the posts that some of the other folks who do rescue feel similar to me on this. Truthfully John, if someone were to be keeping 5 iguanas and a uromastyx in one 60 gallon tank as this person claims, local law enforcement here would take the animals. It's hard not to get angry when hearing about things like this.

I agree with you and I wish everyone would stop answering his posts, then he would have no reason to stay. Unfortunatly, I've noticed that sometimes a new person comes along who has not seen his behavior and answers him which only appears to start the whole process over again.

I'm sure that Bon and Gina won't leave forever -Afterall, they like most of the rest of us, have a real love for these animals and like to help others become better care takers. I for one would also miss them -it's nice to have someone to bounce ideas off, talk about medical issues and treatments and discuss nutrition with! I may not always post directly to either of them but their posts have served to help me in my understanding as my own research goes beyond basic husbandry.
