IBD strikes again :(

Quoting Melissa Kaplan is risky. She's an idiot. However, sometimes even a blind idiotic slug of a lying pig finds an acorn now and then.

I did not know that. For whatever reason, I've always had the impression that her articles were of above average quaity. I haven't experienced any ill fortune as a direct result of her publications but, other than that, I can't say I have any reason to endorse her. I will say your statements about her certainly seem overly strong based on what I've seen. I'd be interested in hearing more....

If you research her, you'll find that she is firmly in league with the HSUS and PETA folks in terms of not keeping reptiles as pets.

Furthermore, the majority of her articles are at best, re-hashed and at worst, utter garbage.

Have you read her stuff? She is a veritable font of misinformation.......she is also a hypocrite.

Dig a bit deeper.

PETA/HSUS huh? Bummer. And, really hypocritical. I mean, if you are going to advocate being "hands off" with animals then you've got no business being involved in their health care. As is the case with the people that subscribe to the separation philosophy, they are either being hypocritical or are effectively advocating the end of the human race.

Anyway, I can't say I ever researched her. I will say that I've never seen any indication of her personal beliefs in her articles and, rehashed or not, I've always found them to be above average in professionalism and quality. Perhaps I'm easily impressed. As I said before, I'm not out to endorse her.

Melissa Kaplan is not held in high regard in the reptile industry. For good reason.
