RE: Interracial Dating
It (taxonomy) is static in that it's a snapshot. And then it changes. Which is exactly my point. If it changes, then that destroys the concept of "purity", does it not? What is "purity" if the classifications keep changing? What I find interesting is so far not...
RE: Interracial Dating
I realize I'm probably in the minority, but taxonomy is simply a man-made, static construct, which, in many ways, is antithetical to evolution. Evolution is a continuum; taxonomy is a static view, and it's not even agreed upon what a species, much less a sub-species, is...
There's on major flaw in your thinking - they'll start manufacturing skeletons by taking things out of context, or just making stuff up. Or put you on the cover up Newsweek with the psycho googly eyes... :)
Did a quick Google search. Results:

Definitely the right direction. Well, at least for the following people:
1) Selfish, narcissistic folks who believe "the government" (ie, you and me) should pay for every one of their wants and needs, and
2) Politicians who gain/maintain power catering to the above, and
3) Those who...
I got a Hermann's because they are hardy and can survive outdoors year-round where I live. In few years, when I have time/energy/money to build a heated hut outside, I might get a Burmese Mountain tortoise.
That's a bummer, but as you said, there are a lot of positives. Those are some beautiful snakes. I'm thinking my next snake might be an old world rat snake of some sort. Thanks for sharing.

Steve,
Thanks so much for your input. I think I understand the risks now, so I'll have to decide whether I want to accept them. My enclosure has good sun exposure for most of the day. At this point, though, given the responses to my post, I don't think I want to take the risk. We have...
I don't have a Greek tortoise (yet), but I really like the look of the Golden Greeks. Seems like there is very little care information on the internet, and even less about housing these guys outdoors. Specifically, I am curious if Golden Greeks can be housed outdoors year-round in central...
Good to hear this. Not sure why people are so scared of snakes, seems like there are a million more things to worry about in life. I've relocated a few copperheads around here (central NC,) but I'm sure Western Diamondbacks are a whole lot more aggressive. Of course, your story might be...
I think the issue is pretty simple. Legally they are not obligated to do anything, and yes, there are risks when dealing with living things, and so on. That's not really the point. They don't *have* to do anything for you... but given your circumstance (ie, an honest, long-time customer who...
Thanks all. Yvonne is correct, I looked up pictures of Oxalis for comparison. I just ordered some Russian Tortoise Seed Mix to plant in his pen. Also ordered some dandelion seeds, since he loves dandelions.
I can't wait to tell my wife I'm going to grow dandelions in our garden. I'm sure...
Thanks everyone!
Yvonne, thanks for the tip. Don't worry too much, it's not a big part of his diet, this is just the second time I've given it to him. It's not growing in his pen. One of the reasons I post a lot of pics is to get feedback and to educate myself, so thanks for letting me know...
... or whatever this clover-type weed is. I put it at the entrance of his man cave, where he was holed up, and he came out within minutes to eat it. It's nice to be able to find food for him in the back yard. Much easier than getting food for my snakes.
Thanks,
Ed
Angi,
No one here is condoning irresponsible ownership or child abuse, we all agree on that. :)
While your intentions are good, imo your thought process is very short sighted. First, your reasoning can be applied to any pet. The person down the street from you could be saying that the...
