You know what....not even gonna bother. Carry on.

Your question dodging abilities are quite stellar, sir. Are you sure you're not in politics as well? I asked a simple question, that was relevant to the topic at hand and you, for whatever reason, are avoiding it.

I'm getting a distinct elitist-holier-than-thou anti-captivity vibe from you, based off your previous posts in this thread.......not surprising, considering the personalities I have run into in the academia world. They view the "private" keeper as being nothing more than a Pokemon-minded, knuckle dragging fool who couldn't hold their Bunson Burners on a good day.

Probably a good chance that, either yourself or one/some of your "Expert" buddies have suffered venomous bites and it ruffles your feathers quite a bit to hear about a lowly private collector *possibly* having more experience and more success working with the same animals.

Not in academia, easy enough to find hands-on photos of me in the field; started out as and remain a pet keeper; again, private keepers cannot adequately prepare for envenomations in most cases. Unsolicited advice:-stay away from "probably a good chance" "going out on limb" etc if you want to be taken seriously

Began keeping centipedes in the mid-60's, continued at home, at the Bronx Zoo, Staten Is Zoo and several museums until present, assisted/studied (centipedes and others) at several Japanese Zoos as well (invert keeping there very advanced, has been for decades); field collection, as research associate, in Venezuela, Costa Rica and elsewhere, huge array of species, including undescribed. and so on
