Kurt that's a great post my friend. One phrase comes to mind after reading your post. That is "Guilty by association". Surround yourself by good people and friends and you won't have these issues. I used to purchase from just about anyone but now find myself staying within a powerful circle of friends. When they don't have what I need or what I'm looking for I go to the next best thing, friends of friends. Sure new people in the biz need a chance but I've been burned like everyone else and there are to many good people out there with great reps. I'm just like anyone else out there in that it took me years of good business to create a good name for myself. It takes a lot of time and effort but anyone can do it. I'm not going anywhere, these animals fuel my fire and run in my blood. Weather it be ball pythons, monitors, cobras, crocs, you name it....it doesn't matter. My love for reptiles will never stop because of a bad experience or big loss. It's like falling off a bike. Dust yourself off and get right back on!
