[QUOTE="ta122, post: 205361, member: 38015"] See, with you having been a keeper of snakes already, it gave you a skill set to bring to the hobby. Plus, I'm sure you witnessed the care of your son's T. That doesn't seem as much of a leap. I feel like social media has brought much attention to keeping non-traditional pets and possibly an unrealistic expectation of what that looks like. I see people who already have these animals asking questions about their basic care. It's great they have platforms to do so, and I'm glad they are learning. However, I worry about the animal and the keeper in certain instances I've seen... people whose baseline knowledge is zero, who didn't research before getting their pet. It makes me wonder what kind of screening I should have once I do start breeding them. [/QUOTE]
