Reptile & Amphibian Forums

for being the only one i visit that people are not trying to start fights or heated discussions over junk! Truly a class act group that i have seen, thanks, scott

duh!

sorry couldn't resist correcting the correction!
but I know what u mean about the other boards... its just not helpful when someone constantly needs to start things.

I have seen that on other boards also. Usually one or two people just out to make trouble and they get the entire board into an all out stupid war over nothing.

I generally post here and look to see if anyone has any questions that I might be able to help them with. I am no expert by any stretch of the imagination, but some things I do know and know well enough to offer advice on it.

When I see those "mini wars" starting to brew, I leave for a few days to let it simmer down LOL. I don't have enough "free hours" in my day as is... I certainly don't have time for battles.

I know what u mean about the 'too. I had one, until very recently... she went to live with a friend of mine for the time being, since I went back to school and couldn't justify spending $4000 a year on a University education when I couldn't study cause I had a cockatoo screaming at me and taking my books away cause she wanted to play. Right now I've only got my little (little, right...hes five... not exactly a baby anymore!) African grey (who I raised from a tiny little fluff ball) and my breeding cockatiels. (who wont stop laying eggs, even though she never hatches them out!!) It seems so quiet around here!! (of course there is also the five dogs, two lizards...)lol

they are a handfull! some days hes very hard to take

but not over petty dumb stuff. over stuff that people's view differ on. i have been known to get into a fight or two here but it is all with health of dragons at heart.

Different then people lookin for a fight as in other forums. Just frustrates me some times but hey, beardies make me forgrt about it! I need a digital camera!

actually these fights are good. They'e not dumb, liek you guys said, but they take out flaws. Maybe someone makes a good point, you think about it...and you combine that with a little compromisationof your old idea..and there ya go, a good way to care for yur beardies. Also, it shows beginners both sides, to let them choose what is best. I'm sure both opinions, for the most part, are pretty good; there are a lot of experienced people on here.
