Ok, I can understand how breeding bp helps stop importation of wild specimens..
but my question is...does it really?

I look at the classifieds on this site and 98% of them are expensive designer snakes. $2000 and up.
Top the average "i want a ball python for a pet, nothing more" type of guy, $2,000 is alot to spend.

Most of the breeding is designer morphs, and most of the business of those breeders is done between breeders.

Does it REALLY help the wild population that much?
