  1. that is a good question, in the past i have put turtles in the fridge first for a few hours then put them in the freezer i worked on the fact that in the wild they crawl into semi insulated spot for overnight temp drop then crawl out as the day warms up in the middle of a cold night i have picked up wild reps and got very little response out of them easiest way to catch them
  2. reptiles have the ability to shut down through lower tempss etc for brumation or hibernation so the other valid point would be that it would not feel anything in this state the counter arguement would be that this happens over a long time period but would an enforced vrumation create the same effect in a shorter period ie" by the time it started to freeze would it already have shut down i love sitting here arguing with myself and no popcorn :evil: there is a difference between arguing and discussing
  3. with some reps if eggs are hatched at extremes to produce either male or females there is a chance that any of the opposite sex produced can have fertility issues
  4. and the females that did hatch from those batches may be in fertile as well

  12. before i sell fish i try to make sure the person knows how to float off properly, water parameter testing, how long their tank has been setup etc you can only rely on their honesty though if they were healthy in my tank and died straight away in theirs i would put it down to not enough acclaimatisation or vast difference in water parameters if they die a week or so later i believe it is the other persons responsibility
