It's not just the pet stores, it's also the vendors at the reptile shows. Have you been to Hamburg? How in God's name can anyone sell a Nile crocodile for $100, or an alligator for $55? And dozens of them! If you're worried about this hobby, then you'd better take it up with your fellow vendors, dealers, and breeders - they and the people they sell to will be the ones that determine the course of events.
