Otherwise you'd know, there is no decent genes in any of the exotic animals bought in my town. It's constant inbreeding at local pet-stores just to fill the demand. Oh, and you know. I actually did do some research. And realize that she died of respitory infection. Due to the sand that the idiots at the pet-store put in the breeding box. So before judging people, you should face facts and lose the god-complex.
Have you never lost a reptile? It was completely out of my hands. But thanks to egotistical pricks like you, people get put off reptiles. I WILL get a new friend. And you WILL NOT discourage me. I'll probably be banned for texting this. But it's alright
I am just a soon to be 19 year old kid who loves nature. I am by no means an expert, and I know how hard it is to lose an animal, I have made many mistakes in the +/- ten years of keeping snakes which has cost me financially, physically and pshycologically, I have learned the hard way quite a few times. All I am saying is why not learn from your mistakes or even better from the mistakes of others, so that you make fewer mistakes in the future? Here is what I would do if I was you, why not save up now and go to the SOS2 expo next year, you will have time to expand your knowledge and your budget, and you will get the opportunity to meet the best herpers/breeders in the country and many likeminded enthusiasts; you will also be able to buy the best herps this country has to offer. I am not trying to discourage you at all and you have a right to an opinion, I am trying to prevent you from losing animals unintentionally which is WAY more likely to discourage you than any person on a forum. There is no such thing as too much or enough research, expanding your knowledge can only be good for you.
