The problems arise when people buy Ts to show off, thinking their mates will think they're cool. We had the same problems with snakes - people buying a huge Burmese python, having a few drinks and then showing off to their mates and wondering why they got bitten. Unfortunately they are the ones who are easily put off on forums by the harsh treatment they receive by some members. I'd rather give them the answers they looking for with a gentle reminder of the possible outcome of the handling/messing with the T in the hope that they will then take heed.</p></blockquote><p></p>
