Yeah, All that stuff was SPOT-ON guys!!
I could have went on and on, as there are literally "a million and one" different angles regarding the hobby, but all these posts are in fact a huge part of where this hobby has been going for years now, and why.
It seems that far too many people today are only interested in the aspect of "making" snakes than there are people that are actually interested in knowing all about them and their natural history because they are genuinely interested in snakes. In my opinion, countless books were my very best foundation growing up, then along with those books came lots of hands-on experience to further reinforce my knowledge and confidence with them.
I agree with the others, and that most of the book reading about snakes is indeed a thing of the past. Everyone wants their "instant gratification", and wants to throw their very own silly coined name on a deli cup.
