Feeding Frogs?

I have to admit this was a great discussion with everybody remaning civil with each which is not always the case on alot of forums. This type of discussion will always give us pause to consider the impact of our hobby on nauture and to do what we can to educate and make others responsible for what they do. Enjoy! Good luck with your graduate work!
a little segue My oldest brother has his Phd in biology specializing in mosses and lichens. I use to go with him when he was collecting specimens for his doctorate work and setting up humidity temp. monitors that enabled him to build a tank to grow his moss that were the subject of his thesis. This particular moss was only thought to grow in Germany at the time and he discovered it growing in a bird sanctury here in Rhode Island. I learned alot about ecosystems and how variences affect them. I was 8 or 9 or so at the time and he even taught me the latin names of the mosses and lichens (none of which I remember now). He also taught me about forgs turtles and such some of which I remember. He is the source of some of my info. Thanks again for being a friendly bunch

I want to emphasize this part especially. This is a forum where we're sort of used to discussions staying civil, even when we strongly disagree with each other or when we get frustrated with others.
