They are your baby steps dude. Youtube is an entertainment medium. It's relevance to herpetology is at best a collection of videos of what NOT to do, interlaced with good people showing off their pets.
Youtube is the stripclub of herp research. Sure, there's a little eye candy, you see things warts and all; you THINK you are getting the real picture, and then you walk out of the place thinking you've seen all there is to see and you're an expert voyeur. But all you got was a glossy, fake, pretentious VERSION of the reality intentionally manufactured to serve the owner's purpose- to IMPRESS YOU. When it's time to get hitched or take your knowledge to the streets; you aren't going to go back there looking for a wife are you ?
