thank you all
I took a little break to take some animals to the rescue, where they are having a small carwash/barbeque fundraiser/adoption event
it's outdoors in front of the rescue, so in the end I only brought out the uromastyx and my IR temp gun
the uromastyx loved it for a while, baked on a table and became very active. These are those big metal folding tables with the dark brown fake wood laminate surface, and they heated up so fast that after a half hour the surface measured 141.3ºF and even the uros no longer liked it.
so now I can go back to working on the web-site and follow some of those excellent suggestions
the venomous, scary, and biting thing seems to be a big deal for people - the first thing they want to know is whether this "iguana" is "poisonous", so I never lack for conversational material

have I ever told you guys that I have trouble writing in English? sounds silly because my English is better than that of some native speakers, but the writing is different. it's supposed to be short with no more than one concept per sentence. my writing doesn't flow that way. Jeff chops up all of my sentences with a cleaver into tiny pieces, just like you would prep a big nightcrawler for baby garters. the first few times he did it, it was really painful, but I'm getting used to it
anyway - I do have to add and change quite a bit , , ,
thanks again for the feedback

Actually, just as a point of interest. It is believed that certain Garter Snakes are poisonous, in particular those which eat certain poisonous newts (Taricha granulosa). It seems that the toxins in the salamander's skin are retained in the body (liver?) of the snake, rendering it poisonous.

but it dosm\nt have its on toxin that it can produce at will (dart frogs cane toads ect.) i dont know if it has to release it at will to be poisnous but i believe it does have to have its own poison to be used in the contex of "that snake is poisnous" instead its "hey that snake has toxins in it" or somthn like that

The red spotted garters (particularly the anery population I found in Oregon) seem to favor eating rough-skinned newts. I mean, they love 'em. Most any other animal that tries to eat one gets very ill. It has been observed specifically in that area, that animals often get very ill after eating garter snakes, particularly crows and jays. Blue herons don't get sick though, and eat newts too.
