It's just a fact of forum life that people:

(1) don't use the search function
(2) shop opinions instead of research

As someone who has lost my e-temper here a time or two - especially when it comes to varanids - I get the frustration that comes with seeing the same infuriating questions posted again and again. Especially when it takes less time to run a little bit of research than to pose the same question.

However, there is a fine line between smacking someone in the noggin with a hard dose of reality and coming off as a xenophobic boob.


The point I am trying very hard, as nicely as possible to get across is,
if they are to lazy or not informed enough to do a basic search for the needed information, then how the hell are they going to go to the lenghs to provide for the animal.
To lazy to search, bad situation for the animal.
