If you do a little species research, your gut instinct will usually tell you what sounds fishy.

I have two snakes and I've only owned for a year, but I tell people the advice I've gotten that worked. If I don't feel like I can answer the question, I either try to direct them to people/places I think can help, or I let someone else handle it so I don't just go around sticking my foot in my mouth.
Well said.
