Thought I would get this off my chest after all this is what this blog is here for :-)
I am a reptile keeper and seeing what I do through a keepers eyes makes me ashame of being a keeper ! With the increase of people coming into this hobby being such new keepers well actually new to the hobby all together they always end up on one site inparticular and to be honest that site isn't the best for knowledge. I wonder why so many 'newbies' have a chip on their shoulder but then I look at where they get their advice, If you ask a question you get jumped on if you want advice you get it from 5 different angles ( which one do they listen to ) So they act like they have been treated ( This is not all new keepers though ) I know theres some AWESOME keepers/breeders out there but heck theres some idiots as well ! So what if you have a large expensive collection but do you have the knowledge that comes with it do you have the experience or do you have a bit of cash which you 'invested' into your expensive collection. Now to the point of saying that, theres so MANY people out there who do have money to put into their collection but they don't have the knowledge to keep them so then the animal suffers, The amount of people I have spoken to that have only been in the hobby a couple of months all say one thing 'It's not hard to feed a snake is it' is that all what this hobby is about just feeding a snake or is it about learning about the snake and what enviroment suits the animal ?
Whoops had a little break and lost track of thought never mind :-)
Anyhow anyone else noticed the increase of bearded dragons hitting the current market and the sales hitting rock bottom would this mean it now is time to stop breeding them or at least put the eggs in the freezer! After all how many unwanted bearded dragons are there now ! I believe in breeding but heck this is now just pure over breeding!
I was going to have a good old rant but something distracted my mind so will try and post more later !
Out!
