My mom used to say that I kept on killing things all the time, still does occasionaly. That maybe have been true when I first started keeping fish and herps, but it hasn't been true in a long time. I had a moray eel that lasted for ten years, when every thing I read said that the captive life expectancy was only eight months. I lost it in the mid-nineties. I always have to throw these things back at her when she makes those kind of statements.
