When posting threads, you're bound to get people who don't like what you have to say or the particular geckos that you've pictured. There's nothing that you can do to prevent that other than not post but be a lurker.
If you're not prepared for someone to tell you that what you think is an awesome looking, top-notch gecko is nothing but a mediocre grade gecko, then don't post the picture.
If you're not prepared for someone to tell you that how you're caring for a gecko is not 100% right, then don't post.
If you're not prepared to get criticized, then be a lurker and don't post.
It is really simple...
If you're hear, you 1) have questions and/or 2) want to help others with questions. Either way, you put yourself in jeopardy of being criticized, and if you can't handle it, then don't post. You can learn just as much by reading.
Don't post that you're selling off bc you funding and time concerns, then post that you're looking to buy more, unless you're willing to get criticized. Don't post that you should never house geckos on sand, then post a picture of yours on sand. Don't let your posts be hypocritical, and don't let your posts draw on for no reason just because you want the last word.
Don't post that you're a beginner keeper, and then next week, you're asking about breeding, and the week after, you're posting tons of pictures of newly acquired potential breeders for the upcoming season.... Don't expect to have too many followers on your side.
When you're dealing with animals, expect there to be some criticism, and if you can't take it, don't post. It's pretty simple.
If you don't want the help and aren't prepared for potential criticism, don't post. It's simple
