"The bacterial counts in the bottled water samples ranged fromless than 0.01CFU/mL to 4900 CFUs/mL, including 6 samples with levels substantially above 1000 CFUs/mL. In contrast, bacterial counts in samples of tap water ranged from 0.2 to 2.7 CFUs/mL." From...

It is referred to as appendix 2, but the original quote stated he didn't have anything on a CITES list. As you stated shipping Appendix 2 species between countries requires a permit. Additionally both Germany and United States are member countries of CITES.

Who's antivenom? Is it a "Miami Dade Fire and Rescue Antivenom Bank", kinda situation?

Pet snakes get loose frequently. Even from people who claim it could never happen. Just in recent weeks a Toronto high rise was in the news because of this. The fact that most of these are nonvenomous escapees is due to the frequency with which they are kept as pets over venomous, although...

Also I hope it is just you who gets bit. One of my big concerns as a herper is that someone with an exotic will, by there own mistake, or through some other unforeseen accident, cause one of these species to get loose. Now you have brought in a dangerous exotic into a location which doesn't...

Eye cap removal is not as necessary as many inexperience people will lead you to believe. Under most venomous circumstances they can be left to come off with the next shed. If removal is preferred there are several techniques which don't require hands on restraint. This is a pretty good...

That should be Fahrenheit, the y axis is labeled wrong. I originally had it expressed in C but figured the way some people here were not grasping basic physics, it would be hard to relate to Celsius. Good catch, I never readjusted the axis label.

I assume evaporative loss was at play in your experiment, otherwise what could possibly explain your results? Or your trials were not the same. I mean think about it, adding water would increase the mass, greater mass would produce the effects in the graph I posted. There is no sense in...

Wow talk about rude responds. See attached graph they both do in fact achieve the same temperature. They “feel” different to you because you are an endothermic, production of your own body heat makes it very difficult to determine temperature even relative. If evaporation is removed what...

What temperature does a dry paper towel become in your 25F fridge? And the second comment illustrates my point, If you put a 70f damp towel in the freezer and a 70f dry towel of the same original dry mass (obviously different resultant mass due to the addition of water) the wet one will take...

Not to mention moist vs dry paper towels, the only thing that will result in a difference in temperature between the two relative to ambient in a dark box would be temperature drop due to evaporation. If you have not ventilated the container this affect would be minimal. In fact the extra...

Not too long ago they said Burmese pythons were only associated with the canals and pump stations, and may not be a real invasive issue.
