i really agree with bluerosy. I do not like the fact that his reply was about people, but without question, its all about people and their behavior. So yes, Bluerosy is right.



More, it seems that those folks, want to all be equal. that is, if they agree, no one is more or less then the other. Funny, life cannot do that. Each and everyone of you IS different and has a different level of experience, goals, understanding etc, SO YOU CANNOT BE THE SAME, yet you try to from peer groups, so you will be the same. God I love behavior.



Any, you said, they try to avoid new concepts or methods or something like that.



The reality is, these concepts are not new, they are the original basic concepts that these snakes have practiced for a very long time, thousands and thousands of years.



Stuffing them in shoeboxes and support them to only make eggs, is NEW to them. In a sense, people are attempting to make these snakes queen bees. That do nothing but make eggs.



That concept leads to JLassiters post about colubrids and over production. The only reward for shoe box keeping is, making babies. Period. So they must make babies and that is the only goal.



If you want the industry to prosper, then you must include more then that. you must include the joy of keeping and learning, or all your going to get is, tooooo many offspring and no value.



In effect, shoe boxes(any plastic box) is what is killing the industry, Its a hobby of making babies, as such, the market will always be flooded. Think what it would be like if 50% of the market did not care about making babies, instead kept snakes for the joy and education of keeping snakes??????????? now I really diverted my own thread, someone spank me. Please
