I think that I see your point. If you're suggesting that it's a problem to begin a breeding business on a money-driven whim, I would agree with you. More people should think about this before making the investment. It would be better for the breeder as well as the animals.



However, I don't completely agree with the blanket assumption that anyone who asks questions should not be in the breeding business. I purchased my first BP six years ago. I still have him. And I am still learning about him. I think like most hobbies, interests, or crafts, this is a life-long learning process. New situations pop up all the time. New tricks are discovered. And new questions are formed. I think that if you wait until you "know every aspect of a species care BEFORE breeding them for the pet trade", then you are likely to never start breeding at all.



The basic care should be known -- temperature, humidity, lighting, etc. This takes five minutes and an internet connection. Anything else is a learning process and requires questions.



I agree that jumping blind and headfirst into a breeding business is unwise, but I believe that continuing on without asking questions is even more unwise.
