I have three CHs from Ben - beauties all of them - great eaters and some of my favorites! The rest of the CHs i got this year I got them eating and found them new homes - they weren't nearly the quality as Ben's!



I've ended up with WCs in the past and wouldn't recommend them for anyone. After seeing the Ball Pythons in the Wild video i don't blame them one bit for being pissy! LOL But they have no business being here.



Course I know the ole argument that balls wouldn't be what they are today if it weren't for importing which is true - but at what point is it time to say enoughs enough - go ahead and get the unsual import possible new morph etc. But leave the rest where they belong - sure would drive up our CB prices if we didn't have to compete with them - imagine how much our normal clutchs would go for if there wreen't 100 imported for every 1 captive born. (BTW - I don't have exact numbers just speaking theoretically).



But that's just my opinion.
