Its a fail humidity reader but I havent found a better one yet.

LOL. In other words your saying that you know you have a poor humidity gage that doesn't work yet in spite of that you recommend readings you get from it even though you know the readings are wrong. Don't you think that is just a bit confusing?


Just because YOU havent seen a 9inch-12inch cane toad from puertorico doesnt mean I havent. Theres more than enough meals for a cane toad to grow that large in puertorico, with all the roaches, and insects crawling around in evey nook and cranny. Not to mention the humidity in puertorico is quite high, as are the temperatures. Like I just said, just because YOU havent doesnt mean I havent. Its your personal opinion I respect that, but I know what I saw.
First, how big a cane will get has a lot to do with genetics, no matter how much you feed a florida cane it will not reach the size some Suriname canes can reach. I doubt the puerto rico canes are capable of reaching the size you say they reach.

You may "know" you have seen 12 in. canes there but I also know fellow texans that "know" they have seen 20 ft. alligators and "black panthers". Some of these people are normally reasonable outdoorsmen too but you can't convince them they didn't actually see what they thought they saw. I know that their 20 ft alligators are more like 12-13ft and their "black panthers" are misidentifications of various things but they won't believe that for anything. I strongly suspect the 12in. canes you have seen over there would shrink down to around 8 inches give or take perhaps a half inch at the most if placed next to a tape measure. Tell you what though, since you say your going back there this summer take a pic of the largest one you can find next to a tape measure and post it here. If I can see that it is anywhere near 12 inches I will be happy to apologize for doubting you. If you can find one that honestly measures even the 9 inches you say is the norm I will be surprised and if you can find one over 10 inches or anywhere near the twelve inches you say the larger ones reach over there I will be EXTREMELY surprised and will place a little more faith in your observations. At the moment I am pretty skeptical.
