Thank you for pointing that out Clay. That is one of my issues with her way of "educating" the masses. Laced throughout her caresheets are those kind of negative remarks. I 100% agree with what she says about the long-term commitments of keeping herps and that you should be prepared to take it on(I have five boas all over 6 feet myself). However, it does not mean that you are an irresponsible idiot if you are willing and wanting to take on the challenges of keeping a large snake or lizard.
There are lots of good care sheets out there on some of the larger potentially more "dangerous" herps out there that extoll the virtues of proper planning and commitment, but only in Ms. Kaplan's caresheets do you get subversely labeled as irresponsible and stupid for even thinking of taking on the challenge.
Again, I think she has some decent information on green iguanas, but I think her way of "educating" potential owners should be revised.
