Will, that was one of the most direct, well written statements I've read on this thread. And I would like to commend everyone on here for keeping everything so civil and educated. This is not the first time I have seen this topic on a forum. With less... Civilized results.

This is a ridiculous comparison. Evolution takes millions of years to take place and you are saying that language, which humans have invented a mere few thousand years ago, should be ingrained in our DNA already? Why? No other social customs are "natural" to humans, we invented them in the last...

You seem to be suggesting that a greater need for evolution to take place should facilitate it to happen when in reality there is no correlation between the need for evolution and it's occurrence. It is a completely random process that may, only by chance, help an animal succeed in it's environment.

But that's just it, biology is not like other sciences in the fact that the template is not fixed. Your genetic code isn't comparable to say, the laws of physics, because if the way biological processes work. In all of the millions of cell processes that go on in the body of every living thing...

Now one thing to consider is evolution cannot be disproved by looking at cases in which something "should have" evolved to fit a certain niche but didn't. Plenty of species have simply died out when facing obstacles to their survival. Evolution is not planned or scripted based on an animal's...

What is her diet like? I'm not an expert but I'd assume she's not getting very many nutrients. Look around on the threads here, particularly tom's, and see the diet and lighting requirements for sulcatas.

That sulcata is very very small for three years :/

And sulcatas grow like monsters. A smaller enclosure like a Closed chamber or Zoo Med box would only last a year, maybe a little longer if it's a slower grower, but after two years your sulcata would need to be in a larger outdoor pen 24/7. Yes you would need to buy a heat lamp and a uv light if...

Instead of buying a large, expensive fish tank, you could construct a tort table and a clear lid for it to help keep in humidity. This is much less expensive, (just the cost of a few sheets of plywood and some plexi glass or plastic wrap) very simple to build, and you can make it any size or...

I managed to plant them without waking him ;) Shhhh he'll hear you o_o

Some live plants for the tort table=) (Tort friendly spider plants)

I have noticed similar behavior every winter with my Russian. He tends to slow down, find the coolest corner, burrow down and sleep for up to a few days at a time. (This is even with lengthening days to 13 hrs and upping temps) By spring he's much more active and has always been perfectly...

Pico! :) Like pico de gallo :)

Found yah! :)

Planning enclosures in my free time :p And wishing I had the space for them :)
