I am not sure I agree with you. One thing thats seems common is the anti commerical aspect thats seen. I find that odd.



First off, your country is all about being commerical. Theres nothing wrong with that. If folks can make money doing something like this, then great. That should not get in the way or hinder anyone. If those are the folks that you do not want to have conversations with, then don't.



But there has to be many folks that love reptiles and hogs, just because they are what they are. I am sure there are lots of those.



About sharing information, what is there to share? If what I read these days is whats being done, well there is no fun in keeping hogs, the only reward is what morphs are produced.



I outlook on hogs stems from them in the field. In the field, they are very interesting in their behavior. Its intriquing to study their movements and behavior. In otherwords, what they do.



In a shoebox, they do nothing, in nature, every minute they make decisions on what to do. In captivity, everything is done for them, and they must fit what they are told to do. Not much to share there.



This recipe keeping is what takes the fun out of snakes, and makes them collectables. Like collecting baseball cards, you know, I have one of those, its in this drawer, wait, not that drawer, this one over here. Hmmmmmmm dang it, where did I put anaconda. oh well, I will find it later.



Don't get me wrong, i love morphs, if I was to find one of those candy snakes in the field, I would grab it and run, sometimes in circles, then strait for a while, then back to circles, just run. Why, got me! but I would.



There just so dang pretty. So I ask, why keep pretty things that you don't see? thats my question.



So I can see not having much to talk about. But you could show pics. Pics are always good. Thanks
