1) Don't be a jerk.

If you disagree with someone or their care, be polite and informative. You're not going to change someone's mind by threatening, harassing, or bullying them. We are all for healthy discussions. This also includes comments that are homophobic, racist, sexist, or inflammatory (i.e. trying to incite a fight). Posts that devolve into screaming matches or drama will be locked or possibly deleted.

2) If you post asking for advice, be willing to listen!

We have plenty of people here with years of experience and well educated mods! We ask that you at least have an open mind if posting for advice.

3) Posts or comments with any sort of animal abuse or neglect will not be tolerated.

This includes animals being put in dangerous situations, comments/posts about animal harm, improper handling, etc. Please report if you see anything breaking this rule.

4) Use the NSFW tag and post flairs!

If you need to show us something NSFW, please tag it! This includes feeding videos, injured reptiles, dead reptiles, etc. It will also help us, the mods, if you flair your posts appropriately.

5) We are not responsible for your animal's health.

If your reptile has serious health problems or injuries, GO TO A VET! We are not qualified professionals and we cannot treat your reptile over the internet.

6) No advertising or spamming.

There are plenty of places to sell your reptiles or products on the internet. This is not the place. If you're unsure if your post qualifies for this, message the mods first.
