Doug, I agree with you. There is no "education". Even the folks who REPEATEDLY post here with the same old newbie husbandry issues do not and will not listen when you try to guide them in a good direction. Its not what they want to hear. Most newbies dont give a rats hinney about where they come from, how they live, etc. They just want kewl stuff to post on facebook or youtube. Or stuff to breed so they can be a kewl vendor at a herp show. They are not buying a corn, eastern king, pueblan milk, they are buying "crazy weird pet snake". They havent read Pope, Kaufield, Hobard, et al. They never looked at guides and range maps to figure out what species live in their area, the types of habitat to look for them in, or what they feed on. Unfortunately, its not required anymore. Snakes are everywhere, and in great diversity.
