I agree with what you said. What you're talking about here is different than my post below about being dissappointed in the snakes I bought a while back.

One of my biggest pet peeves are definitely the folks who buy big stuff like burmese and rock pythons and retics. They buy snakes because it puts out a "cool aura". Then a few years later when the reality sinks in of what kind of an animal they're dealing with, and they need to get rid of it now. They cant handle the size or the feeding costs. Thats BS and Im sick of it. I wish all the "cool" snakes (meant - HUGE) would be taken off the market or at least made a LOT less affordable so that fewer people would actually get access to them. I guess that kinda goes for hots too. $35 for a Western Diamondback? Wow, thats leaving the door open for a LOT of folks to make an impulse purchase. I feel that there are a lot fewer people out there who can truly care for those animals as they should be cared for.

As far as this new thread you started here, Im behind you 100% on that issue.
