I've been around the herp game for over 10 years and have seen a lot of changes. The biggest to me is the emergence of the "basement breeders" as I call them. They're everywhere. I've also noticed a sharp decline in the number of herp shops all over really. The number of shops that specialized in herps was never as high as those for fish, etc. I'm just wondering in this age of captive breeding is there any room for the herp shop? Anyone can see the advantages of running things from your own property but is the herp store an endangered or soon to be extinct species? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
