There is always room for improvement and as hobbyists, we owe it to the animals we keep, to continue the pursuit of good captive care. "Common Practice in the reptile hobby" does not mean one should stay complacent in our knowledge of animals and should also not limit the exploration of all areas which may also include one's own feelings of morality and ethicalness regarding captive care.

Thank you Richard for understanding the point I was trying to make and for sharing your views (you and I are on the same page). I don't look down on anyone here. In fact I feel grateful such a forum exists. The knowledge shared by each member is phenomenal!
