@freemo still much more intrusive than things like keeping cattle for milk - and that certainly generates a lot of upset in a non-trivial portion of society. The open wound is prone to infection and other damage that means it's not really as repeatable as we'd like.
@kline That could be, im not really sure of how risky it is. I know that when they loose their tail it doesnt bleed or act like a usual open wound. But you may be right that there is some risk of infection
@freemo it's pretty high cost and risky for them.
@kline That wouldnt surprise me
@kline fair, well if you know anything about lizard biology specifically youll be a step up from me. I know general biology but nothing related to lizard tails.
@freemo I know more about human wounding than lizard wounding, unfortunately. Reptile medic sounds like a great job.
@kline human biology I understand fairly well too, nothing too specialized about wounds other than the basics. Most of my study was in genetics and neurobiology and some microbiology
@freemo A little more than general knowledge but a long way from expert.
