For most of us it's NEVER been about the "almighty buck" as you put it. First and foremost it's a true love of reptiles that keeps me going. Eons ago I was an executive with Sears Roebuck and Company and made $21,000 one year in the early 70's. I left a career in management to do what I loved best and that is work with herps. Many things I keep and breed have little monetary value. I keep them because I like them. My guess is that many of us here do that. If you got into it to just make money perhaps that is why you feel the way you do. I've met many folks like that . If you have a true love for herps you'll never be able to stop no matter how hard you try and yur opinions will change with age.
