Random snake photos thread ...

With the numerous legal battles we are already facing on top of Brian Barczyck and Jay Brewer sharing clickbait sensationalist videos about “dangerous and unpredictable wild animals” I can’t help but see people who portray themselves as ambassadors of reptile keeping driving the last nails into our damn coffin.

Please, for the sake of all that we love in this hobby/industry/lifestyle, stop all engagement and support of any and all of those that are doing wrong or irresponsible within our realm. I cannot stress this enough. Your very rights as keepers of these magnificent animals could be imperiled by the self absorbed egotistical mindset of individuals such as these.

We are in the golden age of reptile keeping and we are almost certain to see its simultaneous collapse as a result of the exposure we have let these clowns generate.

I've never been a fan of Barczyck, & have no idea who Brewer is, so I wasn't aware of their antics at all. It's obviously not the stuff I search for, so thanks for pointing this out. Incidentally, this would make a superb thread topic & maybe even a "sticky"-hint, hint. Preserving what we have in herpetoculture without "over-sharing" or giving a false impression to the already doubting & impressionable public- that can literally come back to bite us.
