"I will play devils advocate and be the bad guy...if that helps get the message across then so be it."

I don't think anything you've said even implies that you're a bad guy. I surely don't think you're one. Yeah, maybe some of the sellers you've seen selling big snake species without any regard might view you that way, but I surely wouldn't let that bother me none.

Those types of people come & go, and there's very little we can do to stop them. Most of them have other flaws that eventually lead to their own demise in the business. About all we can do is keep trying to inform the next generation of breeders/dealers/sellers. I hope you politely expressed your concerns to the person that sold you your Burmese python.


"Why do you think Mr.McCurley is doing this chat?"

Because he was approached by someone on the Kingsnake.com staff to do a chat on those particular topics.

Take care!
