Yes I do think the present economy is hurting to a degree, but it's not the first time and doubt that it will be the last. Trends come and go and right now to it sems BP are the big trend. Give it time, like all trends it will pass.

The colubred people who are in this hobby for the love of their snakes and the learning we get from them are the ones who will still be standing when this trend ends and another takes it's place.

Even with a bad economy people will find a way to get what they want. I just spent $300 this week on snakes, so I guess I am in the class of a few sick people that are going to spend hundred dollars on slithering snakes.

Economy goes up and down and trends come and go. The demand for colubreds will go up and down, but they and we will always be there. Big difference as I see it is love, interest and learning in your snakes or just out for a fast buck!
