"if we don’t want to lose the what’s available, we have to take some positive action"
First off.....GREAT post Cole!
In my opinion it needs to start with way more people appreciating what makes the natural types that have been around for thousands of years what they are, and learn more about them and their natural history by reading good books regarding them. The internet has transformed too many into lazy people that only look at pictures for the colors/patterns that they want to breed without even knowing or understanding what the hell they are looking at first.
As a matter of fact I see countless folks that continually want to be a BREEDER and they don't even know the first THING about the snakes themselves, or even what the heck they eat, or the conditions they prefer. We are in times of "instant gratification" in hopes of making some money as opposed to more folks wanting to know about THE SNAKES themselves.
Yes, the genetic "hodge-podge" snakes that are being bred now days aren't doing anything but creating a "monkey see, monkey do" effect.
