Personally I sure would like to see more recent pics from Matthew. And Jerry, I think it would behoove you to convince him to comply, as he appears to be the only one coming to your defense with any photographic evidence, such that it is. Quite frankly, that one animal I copied the photo of in my previous posts just doesn't look to be the peak of health to me, and I would just like to be convinced that it was just a bad pic making it look that way.
Right now there seems to be a minor disagreement between yourself and Stu as to what constitutes a healthy looking zonata, and I believe Matthew could be instrumental in showing us solid evidence from another recipient of your animals concerning their health. After all, he IS already involved in this, and we don't really know for certain that HE knows the difference, so why leave us all hanging now? Isn't this particular thread pretty much revolving around CREDIBILITY anyway?
Speaking of which, I would like to know what Matthew's experience level is with these animals?
Heck, I know I had a handful of zonata many years ago, but for the life of me I just cannot recall what I did with them when I decided to move them out. But I don't remember having any problems with them neither and I just kept them in the same caging as my corn snakes.
So yeah, I have kind of a personal interest in this, because I always thought zonatas were pretty cool little animals.
