I am an animal lover and can remember being a kid and finding small animals (such as a flying squirrels that fell out of the nest that I tried to nurse back to health).



I collect the dragons and dont have a breeding business. May eventually do some breeding but I highly doubt that I will ever make $ over what I have invested into these beautiful creatures. I have spent thousands.



I love reptiles and have one of the most caring endearing deep personalities you could imagine.



Im a school teacher and have my own career. I keep the dragons out of a labor of love.



You must have magical mind reading powers to imply from what I said that Im looking to prosper off of these animals. You are very quick to make judgments.



I have spent literally thousands of dollars on animals including (baby dragons and visits to the vet for health related issues for all my animals).









I am an animal lover and do my best to make sure all my animals have happy healthy enjoyable lives. I dont have kids and these are my babies. I spend literally hours dedicated every day to my animals. I keep their enclosures spotless and feed them to very very high standards and also read constantly to be knowledgeable of there proper care. I have a friendship with my veterinarian Kim.



However... Sometimes you must realize and accept that they are just not going to thrive.



That is meant as a console,not as a heartless comment.





Im a school teacher and love children. But the fact of the matter is that there is an attrition rate in schools also. Your are just not going to reach every student despite the greatest efforts. I am also religious and raised through the church.





So please dont be so quick to place judgment on someone. I try my best, as we all do, to insure the happy healthy survival of all animals.



Nature sir is cruel. You ever watch animal documentaries? I do very very frequently. Life in nature is survival of the fittest, and it ensures the progression of the species and is for the betterment of the future of the species. Its a harsh reality.







Please dont be a finger pointer in the forum, and be quick to pass judgments on others.



You should be more careful not to critique and ridicule so quickly. You certainly dont know my inner nature and spiritual priorities by reading one post.



That is an irrational judgment to be placed so quickly.





I am not going to make any comments negatively toward you and would appreciate it if you learned to use your efforts at not blame placing and jumping to conclusions.





I think your great with enclosures if Im not mistaken? So I hope that you will not formulate a grudge toward me because I am a very peace loving cordial person and only come onto this forum for pleasurable experiences.



Hope you did not misinterpret my post. I imagine it could have been read and interpreted harshly.



I really do love animals. I even love my uncles dog who recently ate a 14k gold pen that I brought back from overseas.



Irreplaceable... I just internalized it and moved forward. I love everything and everyone (living life) unconditionally as God teaches all of us.



So my apologies to you and all if my post came across as heartless I didnt mean it that way.







cheerio mate
