"Big Breeders forget that it is about the love for the animals and not the money!!! IF I were to sell my little collection of 1.1 normal balls, 0.1 redtail boa, 1.2 misc. corns for what they are worth to me then they would have a milloin dollar price tag! I just want everyone to love and enjoy say spider morphs and piebalds without dreaming of ways to come up with the thousands of dollars they bring to to seller! This is not about money for some people like myself and a few others out there."



There is SO MUCH that goes into producing ball pythons (or ANY ANIMAL) on a larger scale that anyone would be a fool to try to do it strictly for the money, in my opinion. It is a labor of love above all else. Yes, the "big breeders" who rely solely on their animals to make a living are extremely fortunate to be able to do what they love for a living. Then there are the big breeders who also have other means of income, and are smarter than some of the rest of us.



You have NO IDEA what this entails, and to say that we forget that it's for the love of the animals is asinine, and shows that you have very little concept of what it takes to succesfully maintain a collection of several thousand animals.

If you knew how little $$$ some "big breeders" walk away with when everything is said and done, you would probably have a very different perspective.



I rarely post in this forum, but this particular thread got my attention.
