: I have gone to Melissa's site and read her bio as well as a lot of info she's written. I've gone to many many other sites and if the info is the same at (say) a bunch of different sites, then I take it to be fairly on the mark.

: I've gotten a lot of good info from Melissa herself. She has a lot of experience with reptiles. There are points I don't agree with, of course, but for the most part, I do trust her.

: I'm an older adult and don't believe everything I read in books, believe me. I read a LOT and I have checked out many many sites on here. When I first "inherited" my ig, I didn't know anything at all about them, so I read. I went to the library and took books out (useless, since they are way out of date), researched on here and talked to people.

: I mentioned the eggs because Henry's opinion (on my other board) is that they are okay when igs are young, based on people he knows who have raised their igs like that.

: Most people HAVE to trust the books and the sites. How else can you find anything out? How else can you know what's right and wrong?

: We might find out in l0 years some of what we're doing now is wrong. Who knows.

That's fair.

Personally, I do not truest her much at all with lizards other than Iguanas, but I won't get into that here.

Regardless, I just wanted to point the book thing just in case......the way your posts ewre made it seemed as if you were placing a dominance on the fact that they had written books, and that is why they should be listened to.

Cheers
