first off.....damn beautiful animal you have there I've seen the other pictures, but that really is a gorgeous blood.

Hmm, imports....I think i pretty much agree with you. I don't have a problem with breeders getting imports, since they know what they're doing and they need the new bloodlines. It's the thought of someone getting a wild-caught with absolutely no idea of what they're getting into that bothers me. The situation usually ends up bad on both ends. I admit that i too have been guilty of eyeballing those beautiful, cheap imports. Luckily common sense kicks in after a little bit Lol, i think i remember Kara describing the attitude of wild-caught bloods as similar to a wild caught Sulawesi Retic with a burr up its ass.

My first blood was actually an import. I didn't understand what Captive Hatched really meant when i got her. And i tell ya what, you can tell! I'm definitly sold on captive-bred!

take care,

Carole
