Todd,

My whole point was this....

Everyone who is perfectly experienced at dealing with certain animals gets tired of questions here and there. Unfortunately, all of the sources that are available on the web are not totally accurate. Even individuals in these separate forums challenge one anothers knowledge, and that includes care sheets or information sites. Most sites agree with ownership guidelines. But information regarding care is alot of times as far and varied as the sources of the information. I would prefer for this forum to be run much like a library.

You can't just go up and ask the librarian about a particular subject. But if I did, she wouldn't tell me to go search the library for it, she would tell me where I can find the information that I am looking for. If you truly want to help people, in my opinion it would be best to direct them to some reliable information that YOU trust and recommend, so that they can read it for themselves and gain the knowledge that they are requesting. I am not saying to spell out a whole care page right here in the forum. I am simply saying, direct them to a book,website, or other source of accurate and reliable information. Anyone that can spell, make a webpage, and has even a slight amount of experience with reptiles can make a website on their INTERPRETATION of proper care. This would also aid in the misinformed care of our beloved animals.

Not trying to step on anyones toes here. I was in a bad mood earlier and got a little sarcastic after reading through a bunch of posts, and then I automatically kinda "snapped". But I figured that I would kinda shed some light as to why I said that they way I did.

Sorry for upsetting anyone,
Stan
