Why did You join APS

[Guest]

1)I joined APS to communicate with other like minded people about Herps, to learn and pick up tips about my particular herps.
2)For RnR after a hard day at the office
3)To be able to purchase quality herps straight from the breeder

I joined APS to wreak havoc, impose a state of chaos and bring down the dictator.
I stayed because, I really enjoy the active involvement in the forums. i enjoy the social natuer of a lot of the posts. I know that critisism has been levelled at the calibre of some of the advice and while it can be justified in some cases its can also be rectified, which it generally is, in the same thread. I like the arguements. Especially the ones that dont degenerate in name calling but have the effect of changing my opinion or not as the case may be.
I like the fact that Ive got away with murder for so long.
I enjoy my time here.blah blah blah.

psd oops I forgot. The reptile bit is important too.

I joined coz OuZo told me to :lol:
That and because another site that I was frequenting fell apart. I just needed a place to ask Qs about my herps of people who keep them... Must say though - I have seen a few newbies here get shot down in flames....
Other than that - it's alright I guess

 

[peterescue]

I think your right about the newbies being shot down in flames but I reckons its generally done by those who havent beeen here that long themselves but think theyre qualified to do it. There are exceptions of course but with counselling(and a small surgical procedure) those people can become useful members of the community.

i came because i find discussing topics on a forum to be far more benificial then just reading a care sheet, and i wanted to learn about snakes and lizards etc and their care.

I joined because I just love talking herps! Also to get advice about a lot of different things.....and the chit chat to have a bit of a laugh!

I also know a few people on here as well!

As for the getting wrong info....this is why you get a few opinions and not just one!!!

Yes Bek's right, i would prefer them to be from an australian breeder, the whole smuggling aussie herps into australia seems a bit strange, but thanks for the thought anyway Shewhomustbeobeyed, it is appreciated.

I joined because I spend a bit of time surfing the net and combined a love of herpetology with my surfing activities.

The advantages of coming to this site are that there is a group of people on here who have experience at keeping and breeding who are ready to give their advice on questions one may have. There is a huge gap between what you read about in books and webpages and what successful keepers do to house and raise healthy animals. Herpetological experience of hundreds of years is what this site is about, freely available and shared readily.
I have met several members here and a few live close enough for hands-on herp help. I was happy to show someone from here how to assist a slim hatchling after another member had shown me how. I have been advised on the best places to buy rodent supplies and such things herpers need too.
I have purchased quality animals locally and from interstate and I can see photos of what is available from reputable breeders around Australia at the touch of a key.
I have sold a few things on the site and hope to sell pythons here when i breed some.
I can enjoy the senses of humour of fellow members and follow the thread of posts and maybe drop a comment or two.
I especially like getting the Rock excited about thermostats and I like any post where Sadge drops a boatload of scientific jargon on us all, or posts that involve advanced genetics, exotics or hybridized intergrades. Loads of fun!

I realised how much i liked the site when it was down the last two times.
Stay well everyone.
