oh wow thats alot yea I get what your sayin now the owner just showed up on my door step hes actually a friend of mine but not the best owner. they both were injured badly and couldnt move now the nile is much more active. i dont think im goin to keep him im currently looking for a good home for him but definetly not as easy as I thought im actually having doubts at this point. any ideas on how to get him a good home?

Og_: I mean no offence by what I say. An by no means question your experince. I do doubt that in nature the undigestible parts of prey is removed before eating. Their are many herps that die due to poor husbandy and it's a sad thing. the only point I make is that parts of food even if not digested are not a danger to the animal. The comparison to chimps was alittle streched, humans them selfs eat alot of food thats not fully digested and live though (ie: corn, peanut, ext). This is why every thing has a digestive track.

Yes, but there is a reason why captive animals(herps) live longer than wild ones! I understand your argument. I've made the same in the past. We remove most of the natural killers in our Herp enviroments. What is "natural" Isn't allways good. I hope you understand.

Smallpox "was" a "natural" part of human existence before we eliminated it.

I don't want my reptile to live a questionable existence. I'm trying to stack everything in its favor!

I'm through with this subject. Accept or reject, Doesn't matter to me.
