from your experience. Now there is one less guy I have to compete with. Good-bye and good ridence, because honestly I think your whole post is a crock of what your full of. As some one already stated, if the actions of others or the market price of any particular animal makes you quit a hobby or bussiness, then you shouldn't have been here in the first place. If you made bad deals and poor decisions who's fault is that? Bo frickedy hoo! If you thought you would get rich your first year in business then you where nieve or stupid. Snakeman up above posted that off of a 30,000 dollar investment he recooped 28,000 in the first 3 years and was so upset that he got out. Get real! If a guy that opens a resturant or other retail business and recovers 93% of his total investment in that time I think he would be kissing his own ass allll daayyy looong and night too. I know I would. If you think that any one persons or group of people ruined the market then I think you should take a long look in the mirror before spouting off your dribble. The reptile hobby/trade/industry was around long before the BP craze and it will be long after we're dead and gone. Infact I only see it getting bigger and better. And please, a ban on interstate transportation, hell the goverment can't even stop illegal drug trafficing from less then 1% of the population let alone all the people that are shipping and transporting reptiles. So as everyone has already stated "gee I'm so sorry for your bad experience", but hey thanks for stopping by. You have contributed so much to the hobby and will surely be missed. Not!

P.S. My sincere appologies to anyone who maybe offended by my tone of my post or opinion, but last time I checked ther was no proposed ban on those!!!!
