I am not just a commercial collector. I am also a degreed academic and published herpetologist. I am also a former zoo herpetologist. You throw that term around like they are everywhere and that is all that they do. If you sell or trade one wild caught animal that you collected you are a commercial collector. I keep and breed herps and rodents. Most of the money I make comes from rodents. So I am really a rodent breeder. Most hobbyists that are commercial collectors are also hobbyists and breeders. Then there are dealers. They are often times breeders as well. There are very few people who are strictly commercial collectors. You have a negative bias that I think is becoming quite clear.
