    Yes, but you AREN'T educating on varanid care. You're driving a poster to just go grab the petco caresheet that's got horrible advice.

    Just because the first question was about a tank doesn't mean he couldn't have gone on to get much more advice. If you just want to stand around self-importantly saying "I'd rather the animal die" then don't bother acting as if you want to post advice on care.

    You CAN turn someone into a responsible keeper. You can't help anyone if they don't ask questions because they got called uneducated and foreign because they didn't spell everything right. Guiding a new person into keeping animals that are more to their level or giving advice on how to keep a higher-end animal properly is better than shoving them away and letting the animal die.

    This forum has always been about education, education, education. How are YOU helping educate keepers? I'd rather "waste my time" for a week giving out the most common detail than read another thread of "Gee my lizard died, wonder why?" I want educated keepers. If it means telling fifty people the same common information over and over, then I'll do so. When it gets too frustrating for me to post information then I can step back and some of MANY people on here do so without me around until I am less frustrated and ready to help.

    It might be the four hundredth time YOU heard the question. It's almost certainly the FIRST time the OP has asked it.
