    Re: Are you interested? Animal Plastics COMPLETE review

    There are many people who have purchased the unit you are offering to critique. This is evident by the fact that the company producing them has been in business for many years. Just because it's not on youtube doesn't mean no one knows about it. If you're over 14.

    My heartfelt advice, since you asked, is to lay low for a while. Put a few together, get some experience. STOP SHOWING OFF, WHINING and PLAYING THE PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE VICTIM. I yelled it so you could hear it over your protestations of innocence. You're not and we all know it.

    Look within and see what it is about you that makes you need so badly to be the center of attention that you act like a spoiled kid who has never had anyone tell him that there is a time to just shut your yap and try to learn from those that try to teach. You keep missing that and you have had more than ample opportunity in the last few days to have caught on, had you wanted to.

    I'd place the value of your critique, on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being just about worthless and 10 being stellar, at a solid 2. You don't know enough to know what you don't know. Whether or not you can assemble a precut plastic box is really not relevant to, well, almost anything. Box building is great if that's what you want to do, I've put many cages together myself as have multitudes of other keepers, but that's not as important as WHAT you do with the box and who you keep in it.

    Do you see my points? If not, feel free to ignore me again, but you might want to read this one a couple of times and see if you can't glean anything positive from it.
    To play Devils Advocate... yes, you have people who have been doing this a long time and know the ends and outs and up and downs of different cages and caging systems. I know that. I'm pretty sure he knows that.
    But you also have people who DON'T and who recently got into reptiles. I did a lot of reading before I got my ball python and I didnt know about Animal Plastics until I saw them mentioned on a fauna thread. I know they are good, but I have no idea how one of them works or how it's put together or what the pros and cons are (or potential 'what did I just do' issues that invariably come up in assembly). In that regards, a tutorial/review like the one he's talking about would be useful. Is he the most qualified person to be making it? No, most likely not, but information is still a good thing especially if you are new and don't have connections to the reptile world where you could see it for yourself.
