I just don't understand it. I had a friend come over the other day and she had her husband with her. We got to talking about animals and my reptiles so of course they wanted to see them. I took them into the room and while he was checking out my rack system he started asking questions. "why don't you have any heat lamps", "why don't you have lights on them." I tried my best to explain that ball pythons and leos don't need uvb bulbs and that I had flexwatt to provide heat. That is when he started getting worked up, telling me that he used to have a ball and that it did indeed need the uvb, because that is what the guy at the pet store told him. "Why would the pet store lie to me?"

After that long conversation I still couldn't make he believe that the pet store was wrong. (even though his bp died after just a year). Then he told me that when I have some babies he wanted to buy one from me. I told him that I would not sale one to him until he did some research. (he didn't like that much..oh well)

Anyway, what I'm getting at is how do you guys get through to people like that?
