I am not prone to impulse bud, I have been thinking, rethinking, searching, researching, and reading the same little bit of stuff about tree monitors over and over and over for the last couple of years. It took me that long to decide to build an enclosure and get a pair. I've wanted some for a long time but I did not decide to actually do it until very recently. I would not consider any species that I did not have the means or the time to take care of properly. I have 150 acres and I can build anything. For me, it usually comes down to the husbandry, whether or not I can and will take the time do it properly.
My wife was reading about tortoises and fell in love with this species by its description. That's where I step in and remove the impulse and emotion and take a hard look at the business end of it. That's all this is. All of this happened over a question. It kind of hurts that you disqualified me so quickly without really knowing me, my means or really anything about me other than I am long winded.
I mean Aldabraman started in the same place everyone else starts right?
Speaking of long winded, I am happy to debate and converse and about all aspects of the ethical paradox that is herpetoculture. I have lots of thoughts and observations.
