I hate it when people get reptiles and know nothing about them! I don’t know how many different places I have came across just on this question and answer site that I have found someone that doesn’t know how to care for a reptile and then everyone that answers them are wrong at times too. Like iguanas. . . . I found a question that asked if they were a good pet and what do you feed them. You know what the best answer picked was “you feed them food out of a bag that you get at a pet store and they make good pets and only get about 3 feet long”. . . okay here’s the truth. They can get 5-6 feet long, they don’t make good pets unless you have ENOUGH room and work with them A LOT, like HOURS per day. And, they eat veggies, collards, mustard greens, romaine lettuce, and much more! That food you get from the pet store you only use as a suppliment! Don’t get a reptile or any animals for that matter unless you know how to take care of them. it isn’t fair to the animal.
I agree with you completely!!!! They are the most difficult one that I have came across also except for the huge snakes because they take a lot of time also. I can’t believe that anyone will just say “Okay, this is easy” after one person answers them the way that they wanted them to answer. The girl that was asking the question, after she got that answer that I was talking about said “okay, now i am off to convince my mom to get me one” GEESH, they are going to have a big problem. I feel bad for the iguana because people have NO IDEA what they are talking about! My iguana that I had was awful to handle. he got to be so mean, and I worked with him hours a day!
I care! I care about that animal that is not going to get the care that it deserves because some idiot told her the wrong information! There are many different ways to get information, I wish people would ask opinions but also do some more research. This animal entrusts someone who is their owner and should know how to take care of them and then they aren’t going to take care of them at all!
