Not to be Rude here, but read my post to Hoppy. I totally disagree with your posts, but that is what the forum is about. I respectfully disagree.

It seems that more people that keep animals for the love, put themselves above those who do it for money. I am not saying you are doing that. However, just let me tell you where I'm coming from.

I have kept snakes for 25 years. NEVER have I taken better care of my snakes then I have now with the knowlege out there, and also because my snakes are a lot more valuable, so I NEED to take better care. I don't love them anymore then I did before, and I kept them VERY nice before, I just keep them better now because of the "NEW AGE" of technology, and my collection Value.

I think the more expensive animals get BETTER care, so those who care about the ANimals for the LOVE of the animals, should be a little pleased there is a market out there of expensive animals. They get TREATED better. What about those that don't get treated better?? I think with the knowlege we have now, they are STILL way better off now then then.

It is OK to do this for the Love of the animals or Money. People aren't better becasue they do this for the "LOVE" of the animals then they do for the "LOVE" of money.

I love Both, and I can say I love snakes just as much now as I did when I had my first!!!!

My 2 Cents again. Jeremy Stone
