I don't fully understand the technical side of pathogens etc but I can compare it say to the varying tribes of remote countries where each different one has imunity to its own diseases but has never come accross diseases that other tribes may have so hence when they meet something that wouldn't harm one of the tribes could be potentially fatal to the other, someone please tell me if I'm on the right track, if I am that same theory would apply to any creature that comes either from isolated areas or lives alone and rarely meets others, I know animals travel but if they lived on an island they would never come across diseases from anything other than those on their island, am I right in thinking that the majority of torts don't live in groups and that there may only be one type in one area again I would think that the amount of food available would play a big part in what could live there if that is so then logic says they would have no imunity against anything other than their own diseases, if I'm on the right track would that apply to captive bred torts as well or just wild ones, I'm only a dumb blond but am I any where near.

I was enjoying the discussion, and there weren't personal insults flying around (nearly were, but not quite). Surely people don't have to read the thread if they don't like it. Anyway, I accept that the thread is closed, but I'm not sure why length is such a bad thing <g>.
