That is so weird!

I had him contact me abour some beardies i had for sale. Seemed really interested for his son. Then went quite. Then contacted me about a month later saying could he have them but for a lot cheaper as he had just been stabbed......hmmmmm

Snakes and Lizards together is a new one for me though.

Do you think anyone who has the knowledge to keep reps would sell him anything based on that ad?

Some people just should be blown.

Dunno if it's for real... but someone obviously needs to tell him to do some studying before buying anything. If it's for real and he knows nothing about reps there is someone who is going to have to rehome them at some point... mmm shame people dont research before posting things like that.

Replied to that add told him he was an idiot and to come here to get some decent info on all kinds of reptiles
As well as informing him to do some reasearch and NO lizards and snakes cant be kept together

People like this do my head in they have access to the net to place adds like that but then when you ask if they have done any reasearch they say oh well where do i look ?!?!?!?!

GOOGLE!!!!!!!

What an odd thing to put in a classified ad!! "iv just been stabbed and i nearly died" what does that have to do with anything? Am i supposed to feel sorry for him and hand over my snakes? ...pull the other one.

This is really not the attitude to take. i have seen some out and out farcical questions asked on this here forum and everyone answers without pointing out the absurdity of the question. we were not all BORN experienced keepers, and upon reading this advert.... this person is a TOTAL novice. and deserves our help not our collective E-beef.

you should all be ashamed of yourselves. this may well have caused this person to NEVER be part of this hobby. and we need more bums on seats so to speak.

try being encouraging.... not a douche.
