Pretty Well Said IMO

If people arent offended by something, their afraid of something so either way or both its pretty amuseing from the cheap seats.

What I never get a grasp on is why people dont retain the simple logic behind this stuff ?

What is so hard to understand about SUCKER? or was PT Barnum

a fool ?



TNK

Thats my nondirective opinion and Im sticking to it.









>>You hit the nail on the head.....its all about marketing....in this industry (and Im a new one here, however see it with other industries), its all about something that will make it sound more appealing to the buyer....as we all know most buyers for boa morphs are other breeders....people dont spend that kind of money on a snake if they arent going to breed it....at least the majority.....also we see how prices on these morphs fluctuate so rapidly...its like a stock that you own....and when there is a scandal in the company, the stock goes down, and everyone who had bought in for this much money...now have just lost equity.....the bummer in all this, is that I hope that this doesnt lessen the value of the other so called T-Pos boas.....you can see the kind of reaction that this first post got.....it was very aggresive in the way that you protect something of value, with everyone chiming in who has a vested interested in whatever stock they have bought into.....ultimatley....I still enjoy the snakes that I keep and work with....and if I make any money with them thats great...if not, I have a day job and this is something that brings joy to my life.....and just selectively breeding to get a certain look is payback enough for me.....
