Hi, perhaps you should search through threads around a year or so ago to see how Frank R. told Justin Burokas (krusty) he knew nothing about monitors because he`d never seen them in the wild, and the information he (krusty) was getting from his contacts in Australia was probably not reliable (though Justin had stated they were very reliable sources), this went on for a couple of days, quite purposefully disrespecting/discrediting him publically.
I only "met" Frank Retes a year or so ago on KS, he invited me to join v. net after we`d had a discussion about offering captive Varanids UVB. I`ve found that if I happen to have a different opinion on something I`m undoubtably wrong, and it seems to be mainly because I cannot compete with his breeding successes (so how could I possibly know something that he doesn`t).
The most recent example was the one about Varanids being able to digest (metabolise) fur, etc, I stated they cannot, he, krusty and YOU suggested they can, providing the temps were high enough for digestion (NONSENSE), and as far as I`m aware, no animal can metabolise fur, it passes through undigested as roughage, yet how many members on that website wil take my word for it?
The same with Lace monitors being obligate termite nesters in much of their range, he disagrees, so it cannot be true?
I made a silly, sarcastic remark to Wayne about him posting threads with the correct spelling and grammar, I regret that and would never discriminate against anyone for any reason.
