Of course not, it is an obscure reference. I doubt that you can find 50 people who have read it in this country. But by all means, give a quote or anything.

I have provided literature for surface temps in excess of 120F and have much more of that
I have recorded surface temps of 120 in GA, but you would kill any native GA species if you exposed them to that for over 5 minutes. Your point is what?

Quote:
Again you have yet to PM me, what is it you are so afraid of? I could give you names and sources of people who have given me references and are currently helping me.
Feel free to send me references to back up claims and I will research them. You can even email me directly at bwsmith@animalsouth.com. But in my experience, true professionals enjoy their works being distributed and discussed so I have no idea why you would not reference your sources public ally.

Quote:
Why don't you put your money where your mouth is and give me one example these animals are scorched in their native environment or burned to a crisp by these surfaces.
Why don't you work on your comprehension skills. I never said anything to that effect that would warrant defending. You have already proven your lack of comprehension by your ridiculous interpretation of the paper regarding boids taking bats as prey. You further demonstrate it by lack of comprehending who says what to you. This calls in to question the accuracy of your regurgitation of other peoples' observations.

Quote:
"I've taken a temp gun out and found Yellow Belly Racers basking at temps of 128F (I'm sure they can and do bask at higher temps. I've also seen Western Fence Lizards, bask at temps close to 135F at my old job site"
An irrelevant quote with no source or reference. At least you are consistent.

Quote:
I can play the apologetic game as well and poke holes in your petty argument. By all means show me field research about thermal burns, or regurgitation.
By all means, poke holes. But I will save you the trouble since I never mentioned field results on thermal burns or regurgitation. What thread are you even reading?
