That's a good idea, but maybe to difficult for the most. You need a good microscophe, good books, etc.
And for just a few dollars/euro's a vet does this.
But don't get me wrong, it's a good idea, but nos that simple.

For the writing of articles where Boots talked about... that is always a problem. Only one or two people think they can write and the rest doesn't write anything. That's not pesimism, but experience

I know this from my "work" during some ten years as a translater for the magazine of the European Snake Society, Litteratura serpentium.
Also other Dutch magazines about reptiles know this problem.
Most people are readers... not writers.

What I meant about the caresheets is that people write down what their own experniences are with a specific species. Thus not in what countries they live and so, but more about their behaviour, foodpreferences, temperatures, hibernation, etc.
