"That's why I responded. I felt the original poster needed correct information. "
Kurt, my red spot scarlet letter, at least judging by the comments accompanying them, comes from a perception of general rudeness and sarcastic attitude on my part in my first spate of posts a month or so ago, not from any bad info. Again, all forums have different dynamics for communicating and now that I understand caudata.org's protocols I think I can fit right in now.
As for species mixing, I certainly respect your opinion though it appears that not all herpetologists are in agreement. See my reference to Frank Indiviglio. Perhaps it is age (generation), personal experience or mentor's influence that colors each opinion. I don't know.
My personal experience, and just for some perspective though I am strictly a hobbyist, I've been herping since the mid 1960's, says that green and gray can coexist and thrive in the same setup.
Though I certainly defer to you in knowledge, my experiences are real and valid. However, if anyone is reading this and is unsure whether or not to species mix, I suggest that you thoroughly research it, taking in all informed opinions with particluar emphasis on 'the pros' such as Kurt and Frank Indiviglio to name a few. We have a wonderful opportunity here thanks to the internet where we can correspond with pros and long time hobbyists rather than writing to a unversity biology depatment with a couple of questions and getting either no response or a 'go away kid, you bother me' return which was often my experience back in the old days.
Again, I don't want to drag this out as I feel most people have made up their minds up about this subject and have seen it debated enough before. If you wish to discuss this further, we need not do it here. Feel free to PM me if so inclined.
Respectfully,
Mal
