I am not knocking you or your business. I am not putting myself above anyone nor am I saying that you are only doing it for money. The only way for this hobby to grow is with people like you, producing awesome animals, giving great customer service, etc...

My post was in agreement with Hoppy's over the fact that it seems like everyone is starting their own reptile breeding business in order to get rich quick. Bottom line. Everyone has different ideas of what getting rich is, having a career or what 1k means to them. I beleive that Hoppy is referring to the greed factor in the hobby. Whenever you put a value on something, especially a high one... greed comes into play. There is greed in everything but I have experienced it first hand with a few of my first transactions in the hobby and it sucks!!!

All my animals get the same treatment regardless of how expensive they are. Mind you I don't have a 10K animals but to be honest with you.... I don't know what I would do different than I do now with my good 'ole normal BCI's.

Like I said earlier I am not knocking you or the business aspect of the hobby. As a matter of fact I am more envious than anything. It would be awesome to be able to work with my animals and for it to provide an income. You are one lucky dude. And I believe you that you love your animals just as much as your first.
