They just don't have the transportation infrastructure to do it on a Global scale. Within the local county, province, or state probably, but perishable live reptiles in any condition as pets, I don't think so. Good enough shape for soup is all.


John that's what you said, that was your original point, I told you why this is not true, I told you about how many fish were bred and shipped from the mainland, how they can easily ship live animals in good condition to anywhere..., ................

Then another guy starts talking about his neighbors fish farm and his partner, how they never heard of this blah blah blah. .... Well..........

For those that don't know, Shipping fish is far more difficult then reptiles and its a fact they transport and ship a lot of live fish of many types on the mainland (not just gold fish),

Now that the myth that they cant ship live animals has been dismissed its time to play lets twist things into a new game ? com `on .........

they breed many types of ornamental fish, and their not doing it in the family cesspool, these operations are top notch and professional. They understand genetics and color enhancement, marketing to the pet trade,

If you read my first post in this thread you will see I clearly explained why fish and not reptiles were the target pet trade species, I explained the snake farm deal ... that post was a very truthful and factual overview.

After that the conversation went into guys trying to say they cant breed anything, they don't have the husbandry skills.......they cant do and that ....... jibber jabber,

From what I know, I like you John....... as for some of the others well like the old saying goes, don't get into a mud slinging fight with a pig, you will both end up cover in mud.......but the pig will like it

.............So I`ll continue to stick to the truth and ignore the non sense.
