Default Cardiff Reptile Centre’s staff

Hi All,

Just a short note from Cardiff Reptile Centre to put things right that have just been brought to our attention. It seems that a so called person called Josh sama has been associating himself with Cardiff Reptile Centre saying he works here and so on. Just for the record he is a 15 year old boy who has helped out at the shop a few times after school.

As for all the photo's of Tarantulas and other reptiles he has put on the forum saying they are his. Well he does not own any of them as they are photo's that he has taken from the shop! As for the advice he gives!! Then that is up to you whether you want to use it or not, but like I said he has helped out at the shop a few times and that is all the knowledge he has. (I think he might have a corn snake that he bought off us about 3 weeks ago)
Cardiff Reptile Centre’s staff are under no circumstances allowed to give out any advice on any reptile forum. If someone wants advice on a reptile then by all means come to the shop where only the experienced will give advice. We have over 15 years of experience keeping and breeding all sorts of Reptilia and will do our best to help you.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and we hope it has cleared a few things up and Thank you to those who brought it to our attention.
Cardiff Reptile Centre

mmmm interesting! just goes to show that it is wise to listen to lots of opinions, as dishing out advice with little experience can be harmful to the herps and possibly even keepers alike...its easy to sound knowledgeable and clued up over the internet...but imo unless you have the relevant experience you should just keep quiet... there are LOTS of herps i know next to nothing about...and as such would not post advice etc on them....maybe something a few on here could do with thinking on, after all we all come on here to learn about and share our herps...

Something there has been more and more of lately.I can understand enthusiasm entirely,but bull is a different matter all together,especially when about subjects that could potentially end in harm to animals or keepers alike.
