I joined a couple local groups AFTER reading their posts about their animals. I joined with the intentions of directing them through what I have learned here and on other forums to better ownership of their animals. Many I see are buying snakes one after the other with no knowledge of what they are doing and the intent of breeding to make money. I quickly learned that these people are extraordinarily hard headed. Even when given good direct information with links and references to books and breeders, they still know best. One case a person was continuously buying normals to breed and was getting angry because they wouldn't produce unique looking off spring "like they saw online". I am FAR FAR FAR from an expert but i had hoped to help remove these narrow minded views over time. I found it better, though regretfully, to simply walk away from FB groups entirely. They are not moderated and the group creators word is generally law and undisputable. Its very unfortunate that misinformation is so easily spread and those involved aren't willing to research what they read before applying it to their collection. I feel its each individuals responsibility to their animals to find out what is best through multiple reputable sources but many don't share this view.
