That's very true snakeman, very true. But even more importanly than time involved, is numbers. I think for one to dole out advice and "knowledge" about something they not only should own that species, but should own at least several. I can't just go buy one cape cobra and then set about posting about cape cobra idiosyncrasies in general based on my one little specimen. My cape cobra might be less aggressive than most cape cobras,. or more aggressive. Might be more hyper. So I wouldn't presume to hand out advice and knowledge unless I had at least several cape cobras to set a precedent. One needs a study GROUP to establish patterns and general characteristics that are unique to that species. (any species, not just cape cobras. this was merely an example)





>>Hi i think you cant educate or give out info on any reptile unless you have owned it for at least 3-4 years. If you have not raised a retic or rock from a hatch ling to a sub adult, i personally feel that you don't have the experience to give out accurate info. example me, i have a few retics biggest is a 12' 1/2 female. I have raised this female from a baby but still feel uncomfortable giving out info on retics because i have not had enough experience handling retics. what i would like to say about my 12 footer is she is a total sweat heart and I'm glad i bought her. I'M not trying to be a problem just expressing my feelings about this subject.
