Why in the heck do people need to be so stubborn??

Every day someone posts on one forum or another about their exanthematicus that they "are taking great care of" in a fish tank, cobbled up box or some other improvised housing, and when they get told they need to set up a proper enclosure and what it entails, they either get all defensive or start making excuses.

Just today (the whole purpose of my ranting right now) a person sent me a PM wanting to know if it would be OK to make a plywood top for their fish tank, and when I said it's better than nothing, but would not be appropriate as a permanent solution, the "I don't have the money" excuses started flowing...

Bosc monitors are such rewarding captives and no one seems to really WANT to take proper care of them. (with a very few exceptions)

End of rant....
