How very true, been posting about this elsewhere but peoples just don’t want to see this, it seems they are programmed to consume the UV bulbs and other useless gimmicks.



The pet trade is a sick puppy, even my best friend a 30 year of hole seller once looked at me and said ( I don’t care if the lizard dies, I will sell an other and accessories too)



Importation use to be a gamble thing, sometime you lose a shipment other times you get a good one, of course we the consumers have always paid for the dead animals one way or an other. However sins the arrival of the products industries, importers are thriving, they are not interested in obtaining your CBB anymore, why would they?



Doing so will make them lose profit and affect there import relation, its much more interesting for them to make large orders, this allows to save money and gives them buying power.



How silly is it? well try to supply a hole seller and see for yourself, a handful of any type of reptiles will bring you less then what they pay for imports of the same specie.



Publishers and reptile mag’s will not publish you if you don’t sell products, to say UV’s are not needed or this product is useless is a one way ticket to oblivion, forget about being published not in North America or Europe. They say this industries is flourishing because of the products, maybe! But the animals are still dieing in numbers.



In fact it seems like we have made no progress whatsoever when it comes to import quotas, this can only mean we are killing as much today as we did decades ago, this regardless of the millions$ invested in veterinarians and specialty products.



Wow this sure takes away my pride of working with animals.
