I think the thing is that when someone asks for information on a subject that is so touchy as it is.

With all the new laws and legislations going out...I feel sort of awkward being asked for info like that.

I mean yes, they can just come here and see, but to have it all written on paper, filed, sorted, analyzed, and statisticized.......not for me.

I understand your concerns and the last thing we want is for folks to feel uncomfortable - if I understand what your saying, even though the survey is completely anonymous your concern lies with the fact that anti reptile groups etc. may take the data and use it against us ? This could also work the other way round, in that we are armed with statistics to fight in our own corner.?
I am by no way trying to talk you into taking the survey, we must all do what we feel comfortable doing. Thank you for expressing your concerns.:)

Just for the records, I was raised by wolves and had no contact with humans in my formative years.

Also, does anyone REALLY believe that anything posted on the internet is truly anonymous?

I have no problem with this survey, nor with wanting to get info out there.

I have no problem asking questions of those who want my information.

I also have no problem once I have asked a question and been answered declining to participate or taking part should I make that decision.

To simply answer blindly because a question was asked, not venturing to find out who really wants to know or why, is simply not my way.

So, you sheep, feel free.

I'm really not much of a follower anyway.

You spared him the "more flies with honey than vinegar" advice..........

Guess you're not about constructive criticism - eh?

Oh poo, silliness. Do it or don't. Why make a big deal out of it?

Out of curiosity I took it, sacrificing my own safety in the process, putting myself at risk of being exposed as a *gasp* reptile keeper.

The most it identifies you is as male/female and which country you live in(although it's not even country, more like region, I had to pick North America, not even US). Unless someone is tracking via how I signed on(you don't really 'join' but just type in a spambot defeater number), I'd guess it's as anonymous as posting here(more so actually).

I wasn't really pleased with the survey, as some of the questions needed "none" added in, instead of having to pick "no answer". It was also heavily geared towards "How many ratsnakes", "How many species of ratsnakes", "Will you get more ratsnakes", when I don't own any ratsnakes. If there had been a "none" option on a lot, I would have answered, rather than hitting "no answer".

Other than that, it was pretty darned general. I have no idea how it would help or hurt the hobby, I was just curious as to what sort of questions it would be posing.
