Bearded Dragon Network on FB

I just discovered this group on FB the other day that has some helpful files. However, I was banned because I disagreed with a moderator --- I offered to a newbie, as a rule of thumb, to just avoid lettuce and spinach. There are so many OTHER types of veggies that are great for your beardie that you can hold lettuce and spinach completely off your menu and still feed a very well-balanced diet.

After saying that, the moderator chimed in that lettuce (even, specifically, iceberg lettuce) is very nutritious for your beardie and that I was just plain wrong. I was then told to stop spreading incorrect information and banned from the group. As a high school teacher, dealing with people in that manner is infuriating - they are treating me like a first-grader.

Beware!!

I wouldn't go back to that FB page and if you do just refer the FB page owner's "friends" to this board for actually informed discussions.

They claim that everything they do and say is based on science... but cannot show me or explain to me what that science is. I can't go back to the page anyway though, since I was entirely banned from even seeing it.

They did have interesting info about thermostats and setting up your viv, though. I really wanted to follow through with all of that, but I guess my beardie will suffer because of their egos.
