Some dumb fart has nothing better to do. You can't always know, so that makes it hard to decide whether to respond. But they are usually things similar to your example, or other "idiotic" things like: I feed all the right things, crickets, mice, lettuce and keep in him a nice corner in his cozy 10-gallon tank, I just don't know what's wrong!" -- You get the idea. Oftentimes, there are lots of spelling errors, and most times it is a name you've never seen before. Most people who post will have read some, and maybe even a lot of posts, before posting their own. The thing that makes it tough is that you don't want to ignore someone who is seriously looking for advice. In most cases, there is at least one or two regulars can pick out troll posts in a minute. I don't know if this helps at all, I'm really tired. But it's what came to mind off the top of my head.
