Hello everyone,
I am just curious as to how Australian reptile enthusiasts learn about the ideal methods to care for their pets. I find that generally speaking there is limited information on Australian snakes, particuarily the carpet family. How do all you guys learn how to take care of your animals? Videos? Trial and error? I find that most reptile products are designed for more common species of reptile - the classics they keep in America; the royal python and crested gecko - the species that are illegal here. I am really just interested about how you hobbyists are able to take such great care of your reptiles. How did you guys learn? Maybe I am just a bit overwhelmed by all of the different things a keeper has to learn about. I'm pretty new to the hobby, but it fascinates me.
Any replies would be awesome. I'm not trying to start any arguments, and I'm not looking for information about any particular species, just interested to know how you guys learned to care for your pets
