Exclamation Does anybody actually work?

Dont know where to put this thread so ive put it here. I am asking the question above because alot of the people who have a hell of a lot of reptiles on here dont work. Seem to live on benefits and yet have 20 + reps. Just wondering because I know I couldnt afford to keep any of my animals if i didnt work. Thanks for reading.

Maybe reptile owners on benefits can only afford reptiles, thus have to eat mealworms and shit like their pets. I hear they taste like peanuts.

I work at RSPCA to answer your question anyway.

Well you for start . As to backbone, I think I've had enough running battles on here of which you are al too aware. If the cap fits wear it. Maybe a nice SS one.

Happy New Year to all, May 2009 be a good year.
