[QUOTE="Martin Oosthuysen, post: 31063, member: 1070"] I just think we should look at the hobby with open minds,we tend to not go outside the norm that is set by people. There is not one great thinker that followed someone else,they've always pushed their own hypothesis proven or not. In the end coming up with great ideas,there is no such thing as a DUMB question just a DUMB reply. In the above,I'm trying to give the perception from a general hobbyist. I have been in many situations,where I've asked questions or suggested ideas to be shot down. That's why I went and made my own way of housing arboreal specimens,I've even tested this with Poecilotheria Metallica and others from the genus. Against popular belief, they did not burrow but housed themselves at the top. I'm not saying I'm smart, but logic speaks louder than any other part of thought and add risk you're bound to succeed. Some things in the hobby, like you stated stay as the norm but I've even pushed that. I housed Avics in my new enclosures with minimal open area, they all made nests within 24 max 48 hours. Where some hobbyists struggle to get them to make nests,this was natural within the time period stated. They were with multiple specimens,like I said even Poecilotheria. I've also did this with other arboreal types as well,glad to say same results. I hope i can contribute to this great hobby,big or small. Even one person helped,results in him or her helping others. The gratification comes from the thank you,not the acknowledgement. I hope the above some will take to heart,and maybe see themselves in my view. I hope to add more to the above as time goes on,this hobby is a learning experience each and every day. If you believe yourself to be fully or almost knowledgeable,in any aspect of the hobby you're wasting your and other people's time. Thanks for the kind words,some people don't realize a kind word goes a long way. [/QUOTE]
