I'm on most of the boa FB groups from morphs to pure locality stuff. I dont find it that toxic. I mean sure you run into idiots like a guy i spent an hour arguing with who was trying to tell me unless a BCL has the cross headstamp, it's not a pure BCL and that Vin Russo and all those guys are hacks who breed mixed bloods and that Stockl is the only true boa god lol. Well after proving that Vin Russo was actually the one who discovered the BCL species and that even Stockl line stuff doesnt all have headstamps and that the parents of my BCL are from Vin Russo 2010 striped litter and Legacy Reptiles, he couldnt find anything else to try and prove me wrong so he started cussing lol. So i kind of stooped to his level and we got in epeen match over quality of animals with pics(I won btw but i wont go into that ;)), i ended up just putting him on block.
So you will run into people like that. It's the internet, you are always going to find keyboard warriors. Heck the guy didnt even use his real name, he used Roland Deschain, the main character from Stephen Kings Dark Tower series. Just ignore them and block them if they bug you. You will find knowledgeable people on there who do help but some nights, they will just feel jaded and tired of having to repeat themselves over a question that has been asked a million times and should have been researched wayyyyy before even bringing said animal home. My favorites are 'I got this boa and i dont know what temps i should keep it at' or 'I just got this boa and i dont know what size food i should feed it'. Those kinds of questions should have been known or asked at time of purchase.
Now you will get the know it alls too. I pretty much take anything said on the internet with a grain of salt. There are a few people on each FB group that i talk to and trust their knowledge but like i said, the rest i just more or less nod and then quietly decide if they are idiots or knowledgeable lol.
Now Retic Nation does have a lot of epeen waving guys which is why i rarely go there anymore. Retic Republic is a lot better. Seems a lot of the mellower folks are there. But overall, for boa FB pages, I generally lurk on Boa Constrictor Keepers, Boa Constrictor JB, Pure-Locality-Boas and Boa Constrictor Constrictor but i do flybys on the other ones lol.
