"It seems like you are saying he should get a test boa, and if it doesn't work out he isn't out much. What is the value of life to you?"
because thats exactly what im saying.
what is life worth to me? are we talking about a human or an animal? anyone who has read my previous posts knows that i am not as some would say a "tree hugging liberal" and if that offends you then that may be but im not going to apologize for feeling that way. if i was in a situation where i had to choose between the life of a human and a snake then i think you already know which I would choose. And you are right. he should do research first. thats what i was hoping he would do. however some people buy the snakes and THEN do the research. if thats the case here then yes i think he should go for a less expensive snake. my family is always getting on me because i dont have a car, house, television, or anything else. i keep buying snakes. i couldve easily bought things to make my life more enjoyable but i dont. i buy snakes. however i do share my families opinions when it comes to the prices of the animals. $5000 for a SNAKE? if i had that kind of money i think id invest in something a bit more useful to me. maybe the thought process is different for breeders. i dont know. personally i cant stand people that say how much they care for the animals and at the same time breed and sell them in order to make a living. people like that dont care about the snakes they just want the money. if you cared about the snakes you would go out and get a job working in a factory or somewhere rather than sitting on your ass at home waiting for a paycheck. btw, when i say "you" i mean people in general.
how many breeders would there be if the most expensive snake out there was $150? not all that many. youve got all these breeders that say how much they care about the snakes and that they arent in it for the money. well, im waving the bull[bleep] flag on that one.
