I agree with your post. Although this is not a direct personal attack on the original poster, more and more often I'm seeing messages such as this and this is not a good thing.

More and more often people take the passive approach to animal husbandry, which is NOT acceptable. People post "hey, I have animal X on the way, what do I need to do?" It would be more acceptable and I'd feel a lot better if the posts I saw were more along the lines of:

"I've talked with several people and have worked with similar species and I now have a cage ready for some . My current setup is as follows: blah blah blah. Any comments/questions are appreciated"

This goes back to the general responsibility of keeping ANY animal, much less venomous snakes... and not to harp on this, but it still bothers me how many people jump into venomous snakes with such limited experience in basic reptile husbandry and lack of vets that are willing to work with their hot herps... (not a direct reply to this individual, but just a similar problem that I see along the same lines as the previous one mentioned)...
