Hahaha at no point did i say anyone shouldnt keep these animals or that i dont also put some human needs first. The viv is in my house so naturally this will occur.
I am saying that if you are getting the animal as a pet, shouldnt your first concern be to provide the best environment you possibly can?
Like when people say "i know "X" size is better but will "x" size work?"
That is why i said it all depends on why you have the animal, breeding, or pet?
Clearly the reason for keeping the animal dictates the way you keep it. I thought i had made it clear that i understood that in the first post.
