I don't believe that statement when it comes to this forum. I think for the most part, here in the iguana forum we help each other out with information, that in the "real world", isn't as easy to come across. Go check out a dozen books on iguanas and you'll find so out of date information, you'll be doing more harm to your iguana by following the "real world" information then finding information from people here at the forum. The regulars here, care deeply about their iguanas and if there's one thing I can say....most everyone here has soaked in enough information from fellow people here at the forum; that I would trust anyone of them to be able to give out diet and husbandry information as good as any Vet would be able to. Yes this is a webpage.....but we're real people! Because we're not face to face doesn't mean we can't hold meetings here at the forum and talk about different issues.
Do I attack? Yes, only to a few issues, with the number 1 being breeding. Can I be nasty? Sure, when it comes to the thousands of iglets dying every year, who's standing up for them? Rescue groups can only handle so many unwanted iguanas! If I can stop one person from breeding, then that's a dozen or more iglets someone might not have to deal with later. It would be nice if some people would look at the "BIG PICTURE" instead of the little picture.......the instant "I WANT". There will never be any sugar dressing from me when it comes to breeding iguanas. I'd even attack James Hatfield if he'd come in here talking about breeding iguanas!!! ( not to say he would LOL )
Also I don't believe in posting under a different name......if I can't post it straight up on the board, then I don't need to be saying it at all. I will always be as honest as I can with the people here at this forum. If I don't agree, I post.....rarely do I bite my tongue....but I may count to 10 before posting, to soften the response. If people don't like my tone ( not pointing fingers ) then that's their right but it's also my right to speak my thoughts.
To this forum and the mix bag of people I am grateful for!!!!
