Ive got an oppinion, and im entitled to it... So here it goes...

Some people ive spoke to, agree with me, and probs some people on this forum, will disagree (as they usually do )


But i think at this moment of time, it seems too many people are getting the idea of keeping "Hots" and other DWA reptiles... people seem to be asking questions that could be easyly found out from the internet, and your local council....

Personally i think its scary, i did a poll the other month, and more than half of the people on this forum want to keep Hots......

(This is NOT a dig at anyone, Its just MY oppinon, and im entitled to it.)


Thanks for listening

Dec

I've got no ambition to keep a DWA, I like to interact with my animals without risking my health too much. I admire people who keep DWA's but it's not for me, I'll stick to Beardy's!

I saw your poll and I was one of those who said I would like to keep hots, but it certainly isn't anything that I'd enter in to lightly, and wouldn't happen for a very long time. I agree that a lot of people do ask questions that they could easily find the answers for elsewhere tho, but that is the same in other areas on this (and others I'm sure) forum. It makes you wonder if the people asking these questions should be keeping reps anyway! Altho I guess a lot of the time the questions aren't been asked because the person will ever actually end up keeping hots, but perhaps more just curiosity.

I know its hypocritical but I agree, I just hope people dont take it on lightly without really thinking about it, and the dangers involved, its not something that can be done on a whim, and it seems a bit of a fad at the moment. I for one know that, laws and circumstances permitting, I will keep them for a very long time.

I think the poll may have attracted people with an interest in hots and would therefore indicate a higher interest, percentage wise, than a true poll of ALL RFUK members.
I have kept hots before and must admit it is not something I would do again for several personal reasons.
However if people do it right, with all the precautions, paperwork and experience then hots can be very rewarding.
What worries me is the number of keepers who are, shall we say underground, who keep hots illegally. I have known a few over the years but there seem to be less now then there used to be. Thankfully

The worry is that more relatively inexperienced people seem to be considering it.

Will you be applying as soon as you turn 18 or are you planning on leaving it for a good few years?
