Hi, I have been keeping and breeding geckos for 18 years. I have recently returned from a four year break (from active breeding/sales). Through all the years I have been involved in the herp trade I have seen a few lulls in the hobby/trade, but never a low like I see now. What seems to be the cause? These forums used to be bursting at the seams! Anyone else remember 1999? It's the same at many shows and pet/herp stores, which are almost totally absent today. The diversity of animals are all but gone. Ball pythons are still going strong..any ideas on the reasons and what it's saying about herpetoculture?
