I used too but now I sell off a few surplus. mostly I've been experimenting with new ways of keeping and breeding beyond the classic plastic box method. Results are sketchy, the animals are healthier and feed better but breeding success has been very limited for several years.

Anyway my role here is just as a market watcher. I'm interested in where the market goes and why it goes there. Some trends are good others not so much. I like the trend towards more natural forms but am really taken back by the divisiveness. Time was we all really did just like snakes and enjoy each other's company.

I will say this though if you're not in the business I don't think you've thought things out very well. You're working with wild caughts and have a goal to weed out all the crap. How are you going to do that, by giving the offspring you produce away? How much buyin do you think you're going to get giving snakes away? I could give everything I produces away but people who pay nothing for animals generally don't take care of them much less worry about preserving lineage.
