I'm in total agreement that Chinese like, keep, and use animals of ALL kinds. Look at the dates offered on the articles [all after 2000] BUT during the Chairman Mao [70's-80's] days people in China had no such abilities and would have been afraid to entertain such thoughts. I said that already. There were NO snake farms in China in the 70's unless you count folks catching and selling snakes as farms. Personally I don't count those as farms. I don't agree that the Chinese in mainland China anytime soon are going to become lg. scale herp producers. I've talked to Sam Li about this many times already. So far they can't breed Golden Coin Turtles even...Come on just think about it. At some point being the worlds great business people a few people will do great things. Some are already but again HONG KONG is the place NOT mainland China. All of this will FIRST happen in Hong Kong. Mark my words....
