In response to the myriad comments to my last post I'd like the add:

One - I was perhaps premature in making a comparison between the two communities. My experience with BP is VERY limited. What I postulated was more a thought experiment than anything else. Fact of the matter is, the colubrid community is much more diverse and differences are to be expected.

Two - I acknowledge that some, myself included, are not having difficulty moving their animals. Aaron in particular mentioned the prices and .

Three - As for the economy being an impact, I agree and disagree. Yes there is less money in the economy but generally speaking the pet industry has been recession proof. Perhaps this hasn't held as true this time because of the severity of the recession.

I do think however that the general comment stands. There remains a lot of negativity in the community and I don't see how the impact of this could be anything but negative. I think it negatively affects the current market and I think it negatively affects recruitment of new enthusiasts.
