I recently commented that I had joined the FLORIDA TORTOISE KEEPERS on FACEBOOK.
I must say that it has quickly become a real hassle.
Often, people will post photos of mixed species enclosures, tortoises being kept in pairs and doing the usual bullying behavior. Sulcatas eating watermelon and banana and strawberry.....HORRIBLE ideas on first aid, housing and lighting....It goes on and on.
If you (I) mention the issue, several other keepers will then chime in and tell the person that what they are doing is just fine.
I've about had enough of it.
It is becoming very upsetting to see so many ignorant people posting photos and talking about things that are nothing more than animal abuse. And then being supported by even more morons.
Its NO wonder so many folks come to this forum with so much bad information.
I can no longer reccomend the FLORIDA TORTOISE KEEPERS site on FACEBOOK.
And I am leaving the group today.

The only facebook groups I belong to are the turtle and tortoise classifieds. I like to know what sort of prices the animals are going for.
