To be honest Mike, I took offense at it. You make out that anyone that wants to make a profit from breeding their animals is money grabbing. I spend a lot of money and time keeping my collection of about 80 boas. I take pride in producing good quality morphs and locals. I also look to sell these at a profit each year. That profit helps me maintain my animals for another year, buy new animals, new equipment, rodents, etc. And you know what, if it is able to provide a little extra that enables me and my wife to go on vacation or to buy something new for the house, then you know what, I am down with that. I do not think that is money grabbing.

Obviously we don't all have your extra cash that allows you to buy all of those new Barrs cages, morph amazons, heating and food supplies, etc, and then give away the babies you produce for free. I wish I did, it would be a lot easier than selling some times.
