The actual point is to be honest, If your conversation is theoretical, then say that. If its from experience, then say that.

The reason is, many folks(newbies) come here from other areas of reptile keeping. In those other areas, everybody breds them, so its assumed when advice is given, its gained from experience.

They often come here and are shocked that very few, nearly nobody is breeding monitors. And very few have healthy pet monitors.

This is one of the few areas where captive reproduction is the exception, not the rule and healthy captives are an exception.

Then theres Paradon, hes done what, kept a Rescue Sav for a couple of months, and hes giving advice to folks that are asking for help. He makes up goofy stuff, like plants leaning to the sun, and somehow connects that to varanids, hahahahahahahahahaha

I think thats a joke, but its not funny because so many varanids are dying on a daily basis. Do you think its funny to offer advice that causes harm to monitors??????

So good on you if you think I am overboard for Checking folks like Paradon. You see, all those dead monitors are NOT FUNNY. And its not entertaining and its not about Him liking to carry on a conversation.

And yes, people SHOULD ask for where information is gained from. Its just somehow they don't. Then they have a dead monitor. Only one that suffers is the monitor. Good on you MM
