Hey all,
I love the site. Helped me get a sick dragon back to health. I've studied these creatures with an intensity 10x what i ever did in my college studies. I keep running into a problem though. There are a lot of beardie "cat ladies" out there. That are stuck to data from a decade ago. A lot of it come from this site. Especially when it comes to UVB bulbs and things like frozen food. To my point an administrator on a popular FB group for beardies got in an argument with me over freezing vegetables for beardies. I was posting scientific studies from 2013. She was posting articles from this group from 2006. she told me the actualy university study wasn't credible and deleted the whole post. I run into the same issues with CFL and red heat lamps. People really are stupid. To validate their stupidity they look for things that align with their opinion. Oftentimes they cite this group because it is the leader in dragon ownership, but it is in desperate need of a little cleaning in the backlogs. IS there any way this site can purge data that is now incorrect? It seems every day this site is tagged for an article on how CFL cause blindness in dragons. ITs getting to be humiliating. There are a lot of smart people here. surely the site can be updated to reflect all that has changed in this world. At the least to get these empty nester former soccer moms to back off the rest of the herp community so a little knowledge can be gained.
Thanks for tolerating my rant, you do good work.
