I'm afraid that if NRIP is the compromise coupled with the FALSE statement on the link that Reptile Show's and internet sales are the most likely venue linked to invasives in the enviroment small breeders will drop out or be forced out. The statement regarding the shows and internet sales on the link are the most frightening to me. I fail to see why a customer buying a herp on line, at a herp show, OR BUYING AT PETCO would be any more likely to let a herp escape or deliberately release them. That factor depends entirely on the character of the individual NOT where they buy the herp at. I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND PIJAC'S POSITION ON THAT STATEMENT OR WHY THEY MADE IT. If it leads to and is part of any deal it would overnight destroy the ability of the small breeder to sell their surplus and immediately because of the sudden paucity of colubrids for instance raise the price for the breeders that are authorized to breed and sell. Albino Corn Snakes for instance would suddenly be worth $25 ea instead of $12 and benefit some financially in a HUGE way. I'm opposed to this whole concept because it could create a monopoly based on "THE WALMART SYNDROME" where the mom and pop stores all went under in a short period of time. THIS IS NOT GOOD FOR THE HERP INDUSTRY AT LARGE..... ----- Tom Crutchfield
