Before you give advice...

Please, before you give advice, make sure you have the knowledge and/or experience to back up the information you provide. There are more and more new people coming into the hobby and joining this fine forum every single day. These people often look to the members here to help them find the answers to simple and sometimes not so simple questions. If you aren't 100% sure then its probably better to either not post on the thread or to point them to the care sheets or FAQs on this site or the stickies at the top of each forum. These resources were put together by some of the smartest people I know. Nobody will think any less of you if you don't answer a question or help a new member. Its more important that the person get the CORRECT answer that will help them best take care of their new pet.

Hope this makes sense and helps further the goal of this community!

Not only was it not about you, it was not meant to cause anyone to feel bad about themselves. Just to provoke thought so that everyone here can grow as reptile keepers! :)

"You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to jglass38 again"........ Dang-it. :cool:

and it's not the first (or the last) time a thread like this will grace our forum.

reminding people to know what it is they are sharing is important... but learning from our mistakes is important as well.

:hug: all around!

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to jglass38 again.
