Why do people cry and email me when i give them the rite advice?

I see so many simple questions that obviously points to the person having no experience with the animal they have the question about, yet when i tell them they should not have said animal (monitors most of all) if they are asking such a question, they email me and tell me they are very experienced with that animal and don't need me to be ignorant. If any one else has that prob i would love to know how they feel about it. P.S. i know people have questions and need them answered witch most of the time i try to do to my best abilities but its when i get those ridiculous question that i tend to get annoyed by and just tell them how i really feel, is that really wrong?Why do people cry and email me when i give them the rite advice?
some times people don't want to hear the truth they just want to hear they are correct (80%of the time they are not) it is a problem you will have on here, there are quite a few people who don't bother researching their reptiles but expect people to tell them they are right, all you can do honey is to give your advice and hope they take it at least you are trying to educate them in the correct care, if emails become a problem then set it to not allowing email contact, if people want to get in touch they can always ask you to and you email them first, this is what i do and it saves all the stupid emails from the kids or people who just want to be mean, don't let it spoil your time on here the more people with a good knowledge of correct care the better it is for the reptiles concerned, don't change who you are, be honest and true to who you are best of luck honeyWhy do people cry and email me when i give them the rite advice?
that happens to me but usually the other way round someone (Don't want to name her) told me that I had no experiance with animals and I should no be allowed to own pets! all I asked wa ';Someone threw acid on my cousins kitten'; and things... no it's not wrong though just as long as it is not snapping the face off you..
It's not wrong...but it's not helpful either. Constructive criticism ALWAYS starts by accepting what IS and then offering usable suggestions for change. That old saying that you catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar is very true. I agree...some questions beg for sarcastic answers. I'm no saint...and I've let fly in outrage a time or two...but I always regret it; judge not that ye be not judged keeps springing to my mind. (%
lol get used to it my man! you have known me around here for a bit now william , and you couldnt imagine some of the e-mail/hate mails i get. next time i get a really good one ill e-mail it to you. truth hurts!
I think it's not our position to tell anyone if he/she should or shouldn't have the animal (unless if there's someone who is unexperienced or seems unexperienced trying to have a cobra and so on).





I too have been yelled not to have the animal when i asked bout my green tree python. It's actually my 2nd snake so i was not that unexperienced that time. I remember i asked bout how long an adult green tree python is. Well, i already know it's around 3-4 feet (based on wikipedia), but mine appeared smaller that time, so i wanted to make sure (I wasn't being silly by asking this kinda question rite?). But one of the guyz who answered posted that i should just give the snake to a more experienced person. I know it was my 1st green tree python, even if i already read care sheets, i still need to discuss something with someone more experienced. Of course i can't ask the care sheets, if i don't find what i wanna know, i'm gonna ask someone whom i think is experienced. But what did i get? To give my snake away? Is that the answer that should come out from the mouth of experienced people? ^^





Someone there above me is right, she wrote bout someone may have doubts in his/her mind and ask question. That's true. I think we should even give those people credits. Why? Imagine if those unexperienced people don't want to ask, or even shy to ask questions and continue being uneducated and give a false maintenance for the animal. We should be thankful that those people ask so that the animal can be saved, so don't mock them. Telling them not to have the animal won't help either. He/she can still get/buy the animal even if you say not to buy it and at the same time he/she wouldn't ask questions anymore because he/she will think that these experienced people aren't helpful and decided to take care of the animal on his/her own, which is terrible, rite? ^^





Hope this helps ^^
Most people post questions because there is a doubt in their mind and they want people to convince them or give them solutions to their problems. I too get that all the time. People want to train their Monitors or reptiles to sit in their laps. To me, that is stupid. You shouldn't try to force a reptile to be a cuddly house cat. It is not wrong, there are many uneducated people (especially children) on here that have no business owning the animal in the first place due to lack of funds and knowledge. Research the damn animal BEFORE you get it. Not afterwards when they see a regular house bulb and 10 gallon tank isn't good enough for the 2ft bearded dragon or iguana, and they're sick. I hate people like that.
