One problem with compairing a dog to a reptile as far as price goes is that a dog worth $1000 as a puppy is worth half that much the next day (sure there are a few exceptions of maby a show dog or a special breed or some rare liniage but I am talking about pure bred pet dogs) and even less as it grows up. If you get it fixed it worth $35 (thats what they sell for at the animal shelter) and if it bites or was beaten it is worth nothing. A $1000 snake even if it bites or barly eats or has a burn scar is still worth quite a bit.
As far as the comment somewhere above about all the rare morph reptiles offered to a zoo I think that is completely irrelevent to the topic of duping or rescues because many people who have a "rare" reptile they are thinking of getting ride of might offer it to a zoo believing that a zoo will want a "rare" reptile for display and will take good care of it and they can go see it if they want and tell there friends they donated there "rare" reptile to the zoo. I am sure most of the reps offered were sold when the zoo turned them down.
Of course reptile dumping has occured from time to time and some reptiles were let go on porpose to try to establish them but I don't think either are rampent as most of the media would like the public to believe.
I also have a question for everyone. how many people do you know who have intentialy produced normal berms in the last 10 years.
