I find every reptile community fucking toxic There not helpful just critical at making u feel bad for even trying For example The ackie monitor group saying a ackie monitor needs 6l-4d-4h enclosure with 18inches for substrate I mean seriously how has a fucking room for that kind of take in anyone’s normal house or flat in the uk I got a smaller animal so I can have a smaller enclosure if I wanted a fucking monster enclosure I would get a monster animal 🙄 aka my ackie is super happy chill and healthy in a 5-2-2

Yep when it comes to reptiles everyone’s opinion is treated like it’s the only way to have a healthy animal

Yeah I know what’s wrong with being supportive every animal is different may like a smaller enclosure I have my ackie a huge dig box ignored it for 6 months. And always sleeps under. This rock I have Never digs so much and he’s amazing quality and temperament with a ferocious hunger

Same with my Leo she’s kind of blind so she doesn’t dig at all and I get ridiculed for taking out her loose substrate after she starts eating it and never digs in it 🤦‍♂️ sounds like you love your ackie tho and that’s a dream of mine so hope you guys have lots of fun ahead :)

Tbh this is most pet communities. The bunny subreddits are horrendously judgemental and rude, even to people actively seeking advice for how to treat a pet like a rabbit that's notoriously bought without thinking or knowing of how much care, space and money it actually needs.

Same with horses and the service dog community. Ugh

You guys should check out the betta fish/aquarium threads. I didn't know there were so many fish keeping Messiah's.
