    That is the first time I ever heard of it. If I didn't know better, I would have thought duncans were aquacultured (even though they're really not). You would be hard-pressed to kill a head of duncan.

    when i bought it one of the heads was half formed and epoxyed at the same time, at the time i didnt think much of it but i guess the epoxy damaged the new flesh and BJD took place killing the whole colony.

    I shall never make that mistake again!
