I "love" on gumtree etc...
"Wanted, free pythons. The python will be in a caring home but must be free"
except spelt all horribly and is barely legible.
...you can't just accept buying an $80 python? or take the time to spell correctly so it seems a tiny bit less dodgey...

I just looked and it is gone...was there about a week ago...
I was quite amused by it haha,
it wasn't like "I'm a nice person taking in potential strays"
it was...I'm a cheap bogan and can't even spell python.

I hate: Petshop advice! These employees need to be trained before offering advice on keeping reptiles. I've heard a couple whoppers that would've had me pissin myself laughin if some poor reptiles health wasn't in danger.
Not to mention that when I started with BD's they sold me all this expensive, incorrect **** and I ended up making my beardie sick!
I'm really glad that NSW petshops cant sell reptiles

Haha you hate bad spelling? Then I'll correct you. Those yellow skins are SIMPSONS, not STIMPSON.
I hate it when ppl tell others that I don't know what I am talking about and they proceed to do things their way. When the animal gets sick or dies they come to me wondering what went wrong. Why you asking me if I don't know what I am talking about.
I am not perfect. I am not an expert. I don't try to act like I am. But I can give advise based on my experiences. If something worked for me, it could work for others.

Being very new to keeping snakes, I want as much info as I can get. I have researched and done lots of reading. I have also (and will continue to) ask LOTS of questions. I have noticed that there is quite a significant amount of conflicting information out there. There is also a significant amount of very very generalised information out there. To that end, if I want to learn (and I do), if I want to give my animal/s the best care I can (and I do) I want to ask people who have been there, who have experience and who give information and advice I can trust. I will ask what could probably be dumb-**** questions to people who have been doing this for years and for the most part I refuse to apologise for that. If the roles were reversed I would happily share my expertise and/or experience to help someone out. Just as I am more than happy (and very appreciative) for any help I am offered from this forum and it's members, and happily defer to others' expertise - whether they are 11 or 83.
Just thought maybe the glut of misinformation available should be mentioned here.......

Suenstu that is well written. And you should ask those questions. Its the ones you don't ask that are the dumb ones. While many here don't like seeing repetitive posts, sometimes I think its a good thing as new ppl with new ideas come along to help out.
You will see lots of conflicting information because everybody has their own ideas that seem to work for them. That doesn't make either one wrong. Living in different locations can make a difference, as the climates are very different around our country. I believe you don't fix what's not broken. So if your animals are well and eating don't change what you're doing just because someone else does something differently.
My experience is only 4-5yrs old. I am not an expert and don't try to act like one. But I give lots of advice based on my experiences that could work for others, too. And my heart is with the animals, maybe I sook mine up too much but they are in mint condition so I must be doing something right.

Geeez, were do you start with this one and how do you keep it short enough so that it doesn't turn into a novel?
Probably my biggest hate is tyre kickers, but following closely would be people that just type flat out and hit the submit/post button
without checking their spelling and grammar. They leave it for us to un-scramble their mess.

Yes they can be annoying but I hope ppl aren't too quick to judge ppl. Someone might make a genuine enquiry but cirumstances change. Just because I ask about something does that make me obligated to buy. Only genuine buyers allowed to ask about what your selling provided they commit to buying it?
What do you class as a tyrekicker?

my pet hate is people who just get there first snake trying to tell you how to do things, once they get there first snake they think they are an expert.

It also frustrates me when I go to the local pet shop and they're selling aquarium sand (desert sand is getting expensive) so I ask if its ok for a Levis, and they say they were selling some levis a while ago and when they had them they kept them on reptile bark, so I should do the same. Seriously?!

@ shell: Totally agree, who wants to do housework when you can be on here, i mean reality check mum!
@ mysnakesau: yes i realise that slight spelling error... accidentally on purpose!!!!!! but it's just the lack of spelling in general. Who wants to read something they have to decipher??
