I think this forum attracts people who are well educated because of the fact that garters require some independent thinking to bring us to admire them... in other words, if you are on a forum for a reptile that is commonly kept, popular, worth more money, etc, that forum will attract a different group of people.

We on this forum have to be intelligent and independent enough to be interested in, admire, and therefore keep, a less popular group of species that are not run of the mill...!
