Oh dear, must have touched a sore spot -
I stand corrected about Kaplans education, being ONLY a masters degree, but Tosney is a PHD.
Bottom line is from what i have read on that page, nothing Kaplan recommends for Bearded dragon care will put them in danger or at risk healthwise.
I am NOT saying what she writes is a definitive GUIDE. Just a guide, and hopefully the readers common sense plus their active seeking of other sources of information becomes THEIR guide.
People reading this thread are using walnut shells and corn cob as substrate for their Dragons for goodness sake ! All I am trying to do is help. Which is why i thought this forum existed.
Whats your purpose? To Inflame ?
I dont care about Kaplan personally, so make your personal attacks on her as you wish. However, Back up your words with factual statements WHY you feel this person is not knowledgeable in the least , not just fling your senseless rhetoric.
I see you have 20 warnings already. That tells the forum users alot about you before you even post at this point.
