    "Google it"

    Is it just me, or this this very short phrase severely over used? Yes, google can be a very helpful resource with certain things, but I really feel like the whole entire POINT of reptile forums is so that people can come on here and ask very specific questions and get very direct and PROPER responses from EXPERIENCED keepers. It takes a lot to "irk" me online, but I can't help but cringe when I see seasoned reptile keepers responding to threads with "google it" or "you know google is really helpful". Google is NOT helpful when it comes to reptiles. Google helped me find this forum, amongst others, but as far as PROPER husbandry, health, and species specific info, google is just as bad as getting info from Petco! Seriously, google "ball python care sheets" and look at how many incorrect caresheets show up.

    Especially when it comes to the more "experienced" species, such as burms, condas, etc, why in the world would people tell someone to google the info on them?! I don't trust google. I mean, I get tired of answering the same questions over and over again, but if you don't feel like taking the time to respond....then don't! Sorry for the rant! I'm curious what others' thoughts are on this.

    P.S. Sorry for all the caps I'm not yelling, I'm emphasizing lol
