Matt,

My partner and I know quite a few importers and their friends and that information came to us. If you think about it, how could there be soo many babies at once? There are people producing them, but not in those numbers. They were all over wholesalers lists. The smart thing the importer did was know that it was the right season or he must have had import adult females dropping eggs and knew to do it. From what I heard, he even weighed each one and administered the correct dosage for each female. That was pretty savy of him because if you also think about it, what if he didn't do that? Then you'd have a bunch of wild caughts dropping eggs at little Jimmy's house and 99% of them would go bad. My partner bought some of the babies you see on the net, and they are flawless, healthy, beautiful little babies. Every bit as nice as if you bred the adults and hatched them yourself.......

Barry
