That annoying trend on social media!

[MissterDog]

I get those kinds of comments on my instagram about daily or every other day LOL. I think instagram is just the world's largest compilation of people who think they know everything, for some reason especially prevalent in the reptile community.

It's especially detrimental since the advice they give is incorrect or inaccurate, which is 95% of the time. If another new keeper sees their advice and follows it, they're only putting their animals at stake. All in an attempt to look knowledgeable on the internet!

Haha I was thinking about your Instagram and astonished how many inexperienced people assume you're a newbie and volunteer their informative tips and advice on a snake they don't even own. Also agree with you that this new trend is potentially dangerous because anyone who doesn't know better will think that person is educated and experienced.

Which most of them just don't understand and get all defensive with "it was just a mistake!" Or "I was just expressing an opinion!" when they get called out for it because they can't take any accountability for their actions and how what they say can be interpreted by others.
