Why don’t some people do proper research before getting a bp???

It’s truly baffling to me as someone who wants a ball pythons that someone would purchase a snake before doing thorough research, maybe I’m just weird, but I’ve made lists and quizzed myself on husbandry requirements to make sure that I’ll be ready for my snake, so how are there still people with aspen bedding, small enclosures, and mesh tops? I don’t mean to be judgmental, but it’s really strange to me personally
