Are you saying a raccoon and blackbear can't live in similar habitats?

Wild Habitats? yes. Same husbandry? no. Therefore comparisons between the two hold no validity.
Also, while I am thinking about it. If you are going to make references to experts and Herpetologists, then provide names. Otherwise it just looks like window dressing to back up an otherwise invalid point. This is particularly true when you use a statement such as "This seems to be the popular idea among the herpetologist I talk to." This is a reference to a particular individual. So far, all I have seen is a random reference to random "herpetologist" on another forum (no clue who he is since I am not going to register just to find out). Just some constructive criticism to enhance the validity of your posts.
