Have a biscuit and a coffee.
Thank you SIR. I've had my coffee, but no biscuit. And look at what is still ready:
Well, that should get the attention of some of the chaps.
It certainly will and that's why I posted it. So.....beware everyone except....Adam!
Like what?
Have a coffee and a custard cream dipped in custard.
Yummy.
Our inner selves.
Yummy.

Last time I try to help someone -_-
A girl on Instagram is getting a hermanns hatchling. She was saying about getting a table. I said that she should cover it for humidity. Of course; She knows best.
She said that they will get stressed and Ill in a viv. I told her that the info she got was out of date. I told her about pyramiding an she said "no, I know someone with a tortoise for 12 years and no pyramiding in an open enclosure"
Cut to the chase, I told her to look on this site LOADS of times and my reply:
"It's MY tortoise and I'll look after it how I want"
It amazes me how people are so against advise. As you know, if someone gives me advise, I listen and make changes. What ever is best for my tort.

She just blocked me and asked why I'm being so mean?!?!
How am I mean? Telling her what's best for her tort.

It is possible to have an open table if your ambient humidity is very high, some people may also get lucky or spend forever pouring in water and misting down.
But you're right, some people are more interested in not being wrong than in tortoise care.
Silly girl.
(the Instagram girl, not you.)
I agree wit you, particularly when one needs advice, one should apply it. But at the same time, (and I do not mean you here, so please don't misunderstand me), some people do not know how to give advice. Know what I mean?
Perhaps you weren't subtle enough.
Oh, well, you tried.
Sit down and have a custard cream dipped in custard.

I admit after she got rude to me I did loose it a bit. But at the start I was literally making suggestions.
Positive negative sandwich.
for example.
"Gosh, your tortoise is beautiful and you're a really nice girl
" If you don't take that coiled bulb out your tortoise could go blind.
" but you're obviously smart enough to take good advice and clearly love your tortoise."
Forget about her. She is not worth all that energy it seems.
