First off.... I have a permit. In our city you need a pet fanciers license for owning more than 4 animals total of any kind (discluding fish of course). This includes them coming to your house before you get the permit and allows them to come to your house any time to "check up" on the animals. Secondly, if any of you "pro" animal keepers think that I treat my animals that badly then come to my house and then judge me. Thirdly... what was this thread about again?:? :?

Okay, I don't consider myself to be a pro at all. Nobody said you treat your animals badly. Like Craig said, I think you are just misinformed as to what could possibly happen with the burm and your kid, or with keeping the sulcatta. I think what gets to people is the way you seem to brush off our warnings as well as your attitude of invincibility - "What happens to other people happens to them. But it won't happen to me." We are not trying to put you down, we are just trying to look out for your best interest, as well as your family and the herps you acquire. I don't think you CAN'T keep these animals. I just feel you may be ill-prepared for the long-term care of these animals, as a result of misinformation.

Regards,
Bry
