I have to agree with Randy. It's the keeper's responsibility to cull through all the advice they get and figure out what is best. I don't even own a ball python, and yet I frequently give advice on keeping them. Am I too newbish to do so? No one has yet complained about the advice I give. Yes, I sometimes see a "newbie" giving advice to questions asked...and sometimes that advice is questionable. And if you're seeing that, too...that means something is working RIGHT...because you are there to step in and offer something better. In the end, it's up to the person who asked the question in the first place to decide what makes the most sense. It's not up to us to decide who should and shouldn't be posting advice....because if it were, then I doubt I would make the cut.
