You know, if we weren't talking about people who OWN BP, you'd have a point.
But we are.
And frankly, owning an animal without knowing the basics like size, housing, and what and it eats? There's really no excuse for that. Working out how much, things like needing a thermostat or exactly temperatures and formulas, whatever - that's fine, and reasonable and the learning curve. Not working out that it eats rodents, needs heat, and doesn't grow to be 15 feet long and has teeth?
No. That's just ridiculous.
