I've been keeping my own snakes for less then a year, got geckos for about 5, and for one or the other I'm still learning a lot. The only difference is where I take the information and really, Facebook pages are the worse "just like google" places. That girl must've been told so many times that she could just look up her information by herself or one person took her in and their word was law. I've seen both kind of person and it's weird to see happen. Some peeps have those 100s of snakes and still make mistakes, but its the ability to know when you are wrong and learn from your mistakes :#
This place is just so much more great to ask questions, even if I find them stupid, I know I'll get serious answers. I've seen awesome FB groups, but some are less newbie friendly or have too many parents looking for a pet for their child and have no idea what they want.
