Adrian.... I was referring to these four paragraphs you wrote....
----------------------
....#1 sounds good at first glance, but from a practical standpoint it would not work.
You are talking about having to work with a particular hot species 3 hours per day every single day just to meet a minimum 1000 hour per year requirement.
1 year consisting of no less than 1000 hours would insinuate that you would actually prefer that people spent more than 1000 hours in that one year? So that means.... you would like to see what.... 4, 6, 8-hour days every single day working with a particular species?
Even at a minimum 1000 hours it would be impractical for anyone (with a life and a job) to meet that requirement in a single year's time unless the person happened to work a paying job in an animal industry that actually worked with hots on a daily basis and happened to include the species that person might be trying to get a permit for.
-------------------------------
I might have missed your point, that's what I thought you meant.... sorry....
Realistically, all you would have to do is work 3 hours a day (seven days a week) for a year and you would have your 1000 hours.... if you worked at a herp store as a job, you could do it in less than 6 months....
It IS a very hard and tedious process, but well worth it in the long run....
BTW.... you must have missed whatever "last paragraph" you were speaking of, because there is NO WAY you can edit your posts on this site, unless Rich changed something very recently??....
