Re: I hate this..
This 'snake keepers' mentality has and still is one of the biggest setbacks to educating people about monitor husbandry.Unfortunately the control aspect fights adversly with the interest of our charges-monitor don't have the low threshold of care that snakes can subsist and procreate under.Having been in the monitor forum,hearing someone speak of a creature breeding at a size it was biologically designed to do outside human expectations and control i find odd.
As far as being frustrated by people not taking advice,or impulse buys-that is beyond my control.My responsibilty is to take care of my monitors beyond the best of my abilities-not accepting boundaries set by others or possibly my own prejudices,but what my monitor is telling me with the help of a broad spectrum of experienced keepers.Selfish that benefits others is after all another justification that will just have to do
