First of many,

Well completely new to this 'Blogging' but thought it would be a good place to start with the whole 'Exotic Industry'. In this day and age you would expect information to be available at the click of a button heck people have the World Wide Web at their finger tips so why is it there are SO many ill informed 'Newbies' who really can't be bothered to do their own research and expect it to be handed to them on a plate and will listen to any garbage they are told.

I understand that everyone needs to start somewhere but Heck me at least do your research before buying the animal! I'm not saying all new keepers are useless because I bet theres a boat load of sensible ones out there that do their research and understand what they need before buying an animal but you never hear of those you always hear about the one that forgot to put a bulb guard on his bulb or ceramic heater and now their snakes got a HUGE burn or another one is I used masking tape to stick up something in my viv and now my snakes got it on his body. Theres more out there which to be honest are down right dumb! You have it with Lizard keepers to my bearded dragon keeps bobbing his head at me what do I do, At least the animals health isn't at stake here! Also why is it that Pet shops ( not all ) always say the best thing to use is Calci-Sand it's absolutely great ( yea if you want a dead animal in the future ) I also hear that the best gecko to have is a fat one, But what is fat you see some and they are OBESE I'm telling you geckos should not have flabby armpits!

I think a bit about me is in order, I am me naturally I am human. I have a passion for exotic animals and about their welfare and to be honest people in the industry are to afraid to speak to worry to have a voice because of who they might offend but guess what I'm not afraid to speak my voice I don't mind people not liking my opinion I couldn't care if I upset big breeders after all I'm not doing this to be popular or any other alterior motive I'm doing this for the animals those that I am passionate about. We have organisations in the hobby but will they fight for the issues which need to be fought for or will they just sit their idley and watch it pass by ? Issues which they aren't comfortable in fighting for. What I am about is to take on those who think they are untouchable be it a GOOD thing for the hobby or a bad thing for the hobby if it's an issue then it needs to be addressed!

You will notice that some of what I say won't really make sense to you but it does to me so no need to worry there. I will be updating when I can and what it will be about I do not know until I type :-) Some would call me all the names under the sun but others would sing my praises, After all this is about the animals.

Out.
