I just recently joined and I had read numerous threads that made me second guess being on this forum. If it weren't for the fact that I already have reptiles and and overly familiar with proper husbandry I would've definitely found another place for information. I don't think it's any place for anyone to rude and dismissive to anyone seeking help no matter your experience especially if people are seeking knowledge to better their chams life.
I agree with you there. When I first started keeping, I was already aware on basic reptile husbandry and knew well enough not to simply abide by the directions and setups given by chain pet stores. I found a few very nice groups, but all had the same aggressive undertone when it came towards uneducated keepers that dragged the whole group down.
We can always question care we currently provide and improve it, but sometimes the aggression given when different opinions are presented is very unwarranted.
I do feel bad for new keepers who aren't aware of general reptile husbandry, it's terribly overwhelming even for me, and I feel I'm pretty well versed.
