That's crazy, just like this forum, that one as well sounds lucky to have you aboard.Actually, yes. Well, I just know it was a petstore.
They actually thought it was a gopher tortoise until I told them otherwise.

Just goofing and giving you a hard time about it. Glad your on it. Helping to spread the correct ways to keep a tortoise. As long as there are other forums out there, we need to infiltrate them and get the right stuff out there.Yes, I did recommend that they join the forum, and gave them advice and such. I just hope that they actually take the advice, and join, lol

It's just someone without the knowledge needed, thinking like a mammal.Sometimes I don’t understand people’s logic, at least from my perspective
I went to a zoo in the Midlands UK a few weeks ago, and literally every tortoise they had, from what I can remember were Pancakes and Spider Tortoises were in terrariums with other reptiles. You would think Zoo’s would know better?
Yikes there are more misinformed people out there than I thought. What's next? My 15 foot reticulated python looked lonely so I bought him a puppy to play with...lol.AHHH!View attachment 238535View attachment 238536View attachment 238537
This tortoise is supposedly 1 1/2 years old. And the size of a hatchling.
Oh, and apparently the breeder is super responsible and gave them all of this great information.

I get some people make mistakes, like myself, but this is ridiculous
Sure feels good, eh guys? We the informed ones, vs. them, the ignorant and dumb.
There is certainly a difference between uninformed and stupid, though, isn't there? Yep.
I have seen both types the uninformed, and the ignorant come here asking for help since I have joined. I think 99% fall in the uninformed(and want to learn) category. Whether they're treating their Sulcata like it's a desert species, or feeding there Russian the wrong diet, there's a hundred different scenarios. But the uninformed ask questions, and positively take the criticism and advice and apply it to better care of their tortoise. The ignorant, the unfortunate 1%. They ask questions, they have stuff pointed out to them, but rather apply what they have been advised they find a way to ask the same question 10 different ways. They somehow turn it into their being bullied, talked down to, or told what to do.Sure feels good, eh guys? We the informed ones, vs. them, the ignorant and dumb.
