To me and to another newer breeder on this forum, who I look up to based on his morals and wisdom, it seems kinda sad that when you look at the big picture, people who like snakes are in the minority.People who like snakes enough to consider owning them is even a smaller percentage and yet people who own and actually breed snakes is a minute percentage of people. That being said, and also being restructured from words that came out of the users mouth who I talked to about this the other day, It is REALLY sad that you, myself, and a lot of other users on this forum are THOSE PEOPLE in the teeny minority, yet we bicker, fight, and argue about stupid things. Do you think a newbie looking at this forum really wants to get into snakes after seeing what snakes have turned some people into? No matter the type of snakes someone likes, if I can turn some kid who has only had hamsters in his/her life into a responsible snake owner, I did my job. I want to share the snakes that make me happy with others and that is why I post on this forum. I tried going to just posting pics but even that is backfiring on me, sadly. Tom Stevens and Zenny have stopped posting in the past year or so, why? Because they hate the BS on this forum. Everyone on here would like to see them come back on as regulars but that is now unlikely. If enough people are driven away from this forum, whether you agree now or not, it will become a more boring place. This hobby needs morph people, locality people, and hybridizers or the purists would not be happy, the people who want to try and "go big" and make a lot of money wouldn't be happy, the morph lovers would not be happy, and the newbies who see a neon orange hybrid would not be happy. To me it's about sharing snakes with other people and what better way than to have a forum to do it, let's not ruin this forum with stupid fights, WE ALL LOVE SNAKES! GEEEESH. I wont contribute to the decline of an already attacked hobby anymore,



Thanks
