Welcome to the forums. You should create a post with the pictures of your collection. I would love to see them. Dont stress out over the negative comments. Unfortunatly everywhere you go there are going to be some negative people and/or negative comments made towards you or a thought or idea you may have. In my experience it is better to just ignore them and move on. You should not stop posting just because of a negative situation. I would say doing what you said in staying away from the type of posts and/or conversations that you think might be stressful to yourself or that may start a battle even unintentionally might be the best course of action. But everyone has different knowledge with reguards to the care of their animals and your knowledge may help others and/or at least provide other views, options and experiences that people newer to reptiles may not have and may need.
