I've been keeping and breeding reptiles for approximately 25yrs and lately its just become a real headache. I'm not speaking about the level of work that goes into the maintenance of the species....This is about the quality of people that are involved with it...So many claim to be in it for the love of the animals but in reality it's all about the $$$$$$.



I understand the business nature of this hobby but that is NOT what I'm referencing either.....there are SO MANY scandalous people in this hobby that simply get paid and thats where the service ends. And if you have a problem with something you purchased well thats YOUR PROBLEM...They got your cash and you're out of luck...I just dont believe that is any way to do business.....And there are also way to many kiss-A$$ people that believe simply because someone advertises a lot of stuff they must be one of the "BIG BOYS" that are of the highest caliber.....What a joke...These people need to form their own opinion and stop being SHEEP.



I used to LOVE this hobby more than just about anything and now a lot of the people in it just make me sick.
