Herpetology is hard, let's go shopping!
I totally just cut a bitch on the reptile LJ community that I'm a part of.
Long story short, 14-year-old girl with a troll journal and membership in pro-ana communities declares to the group that she's getting an iguana.
At 14.
Because she's totally ready to take on an aggressive 6ft+ reptile that needs regular vet checkups and special meals prepared every day and a cage the size of a bedroom.
Naturally, she expects her parents to pay for everything and thinks it's unfair that they won't buy her one.
She asks for advice, and is told that it's a bad idea. She stamps her foot and whines that she wants one, and she will have one.
So a few of us stop being nice.
I hate it when people (especially whiny teenagers) claim their love and devotion for an animal while completely disregarding its well-being and safety.
It felt so good to slap her. It'd feel even better in person.
(I took screencaps in case she removes her post, like miss "Where can I buy a baby anaconda?" a few months ago.)
Just.. argh.
