Hello Gary Things are coming on nicely by the look of it. However I don't understand why you want to get a new juv idol if you are getting rid of the one you have now because it is too big. A new juv idol also will grow to big as well so are you going to keep getting rid of the idols when they...

Nathan seems to be the only one that has understood what I was getting at and to address what I was asking ((I quote Nathan. This is where this hobby seems to be backwards. If a wholesaler wants to be ethical in collection, etc. and then does nothing to ensure the animals are treated...
