>>They are not your slaves or indentured servants alive merely for your amusement....



Where are you getting that from Kelphy's statement?! There is not a soul here that thinks that about their pets. Anyone that has an INKLING of thought about enslaving an animal would not take the time to post about taking proper care of them, or feel an emotional loss for them when they die.



The only ones that do that are the ones that DON'T care at all. They provide less than the basics for their pet, forget to feed them constantly, keep them cold, pit them against other animals for sport, and completely neglect medical care, proper nutrition, atmospheric requirements, EVERTHING necessary to keep a healthy herp. And I don't see that here.



What I see are people concerned about others' (and their own) beardies, new owners taking the time to ask INTELLIGENT questions (which ALL questions are, providing that someone is actually willing to listen to the answers, no matter how diverse, and base an opinion on those answers), about proper care, and experts that take their own personal time to share in the experience and delight in owning an intelligent and intriguing species.



Forgive me for saying so, your statement was NOT intelligent in the least bit. Please think about what you say to others before contracting athelete's tongue.
