>>I would like to take this opportunity to show my appreciation for the folks that produce pure breeds, pure lines, pure lineage, (lack of correct terminology). I think that is very important to the industry.

I too respect those who have taken a particular line or locality and continued over many years to keep it going. Back in the day I did not think that way so much, because I figured snakes were pets in boxes, never going into the wild, so who cares so much about locality. My view has changed. Maybe with laws looming to take away our legal ability to keep many herps, it would show lawmakers that we care about conservation and the animals, rather than them thinking we are just a bunch of people who want to throw a live mouse in with some albino snake for the sheer thrill of it, and post it on youtube. Unfortunately, that is what too many people will continue to think herpers are like unless we change that perception.
