[gecko]HTML posts- a suggestion
I just checked a recent digest of gecko list posts, and over 85% of the data consists of HTML formatting (which appears as a greatly expanded duplication of the original post in addition to the basic text post). The problem is compounded when the entire message, including the formatting, is quoted in subsequent replies. It would be easier to locate and read messages if participants used the text-only setting in their email client to post to the list. -Just a suggestion.

RE: [gecko]Changing established breeders....
Thanks Julie and Chad, Fortunately, I have the room to remove the pairs from their larger holding cages and place them each into cages that are roughly the size of 30 gal tanks. In the meantime, I'll replace all props from the breeding cages, scrub down the cages themselves, and wait about 30 days before I place the new pairs in them. I'll watch closely for any signs of aggression and we'll see how it goes. Again, thanks for the advice. Best...

Do you think a lengthy separation of at least a month should be OK or??

I would like to switch their respective mates around as I have found out that one pair could be 1st cousins, while the other pair is completely unrelated. All 4 of the animals have grandparents and great-grandparents that were w/c. Since I understand that this taxon can be monogamous, do any of you foresee a problem if I perform a switch to break up the possible cousin pair? All are relatively young animals, the cousins pair were hatched in different months in early 2003, and the other pair were hatched in different months in late 2004.
