This is not how I feel about the hobby; this is how I feel about many people in it. My statements are based on what I have observed over the years. I'm not sure how long you have been involved in the hobby but many witnessed that at one point people use to discourage breeding a female under 2 years of age. Now, it seems that breeding a boa that young has become the norm for many people. I have seen the same people that discouraged breeding that young turn around and then do it themselves.

What I don’t understand is why you would get defensive? Are you one of the people that I’m referring to?

In regards to the other statement you posted. Am I supposed to think some people are not fake when I see them post about how much they love their animals yet they are overfeeding like crazy just to get their animals “up to size”? In my opinion I think I have seen more people overstuffing their animals then I have seen people feed sparingly.

So if this is you then I’m sorry, this is just the way I feel. If this is not you then there is no reason to get offended. The bottom line is that everyone has witnessed (either through ads, forums or in person) what I have mentioned; no one can say that it’s not true.

So back to the point, I think this has had an impact on the market.
