Chris, I never said you did anything in particular. I was not directing anything in the thread to any one person. I was stating that before anyone bashes anyone about what they are doing, maybe they ought to look at themselves. Whether or not you break even selling your offspring makes no difference. You still sell them. You still capture wild snakes. As I stated in another comment, any snake in captivity will die. It is considered a dead snake as soon as it is removed from the wild population. I also said that no one out there is making any noise about the thousands of snakes sold at snake shows. How many of them survive? It is against the law in the US to kill dogs and cats for the meat or hide. I have been in many forgien countrys where dogs and cats are a main source of protien. Does that make them wrong?

Why is it ok to raise mice and kill them to feed snakes? The answer is because we want to and there is no law against it.

Are you being a little bit hypocritical?
