While I agree that alot of keepers have a fair amount of trouble grasping the genetic aspect of things, I think you are way out of line to say that a large portion of the people in our hobby have trouble keeping animals alive. To the contrary I believe that the people in our hobby have an astounding ability to not only keep their animals alive but to maintain them to the highest levels. I would also venture to that most take better care of their animals than alot of zoos or "reptile farms" out there.

To come on a public forum and say that the people in our hobby cannot keep animals alive is one of the worst things you can do. Every day we are fighting to keep our hobby alive and to have people within the hobby making comments like that will only make our struggle harder.
