I spend a good amount of time reading the ball and boa forums. The reason there are so many people talking about the "market" and all that cr4p is because there are SOOO many guys/girls on there who are looking for a "get rich quick". I think that most people there have lost sight of the beauty of the animals they are working with. I have 1.1 balls and 1.0 colombian rt. Sure I cant wait for my bps to breed, but NOT ONE of them will be sold. I have snakes because I love them, im not trying to make any money. I wish there were more people who shared my opinion. I think whoever said it was right, everyone who "invested" is worried about not seeing it back, I find that kinda funny. Because I thought people kept snakes because they liked them, imagine that! If you spend a few minutes reading the latest posts in the bp forum you will see that all of these "get rich quickers" are now attacking the "big boys"! Claiming it is all their fault that the "little guys" cant make any money. I hope this whole "market crash" will eliminate the people just trying to make money and leave it to the people who love the animals and breed to see what else they can get, and to expand what they have personally. I dont think that there should be no small breeders, I simply feel that the people who are breeding should be people who first and foremost enjoy and respect these amazing animals.

Sorry for the long post/rant

Thanks
