I post on the chuckwalla and desert iguana( the ""coolest"" of iguanas-LOL)forum a lot-- But DO NOT purchase from the Humane Society- you are helping to fund their lobbying to BAN me and YOU from even owning a reptile. Yes, there are a lot of problems in the herp hobby but these people have an agenda that is pecking away at every one of us. We, as herpers, need to discourge the free give aways and terrible conditions that a lot of critters are kept in. Do NOT buy from the sleeze bags. Write letters, make phone calls, make complaints to the owners of the stores- maybe they will quit selling certain animals if no one buys em. Do not think that the Humane Society is doing us a favor by getting involved. Why don't they go after the real problems ?? It would not be accepted!! Look at how many people are injured by dogs each year.I am not anti -dog, I have one my self.To sum it up, I do not trust the ultimate motives of these utopian's. ?? 93,000 cases of reptile salmonella a year-- prove that number. Click on to their site a check out some of the articles about banning reptiles in the home etc. Enough rambling - I will go back to the other "plant eating lizard" forum .

Thanks

David
