Biggest story in the Ball Python World for 2011?

Vote for the biggest story in the Ball Python World for 2011! Every year there seems to be major stories in our industry. Which one do you think made the biggest impact in 2011?

lol,, i had to LOL....
all 3 are note worthy,,,, i just cant decide wich one to pick.
spooky

Oooh, I forgot to add the Toffino controversy! Can a mod edit the poll to include the Toffino controversy? Thanks!

Wow that's a great question off the top of my head.

1. Pro Exotics losing their whole Ball python collection. So depressing can't begin to put myself in their shoes.
2. Crazy Ball bids mess.
3. Facebook auctions really taking off.
4. Caramel Albino pied AMAZING!
5. All around growth of the Ball python industry.

What about the Ohio ban? I know that made a lot of attention...though it's not good, but neither are any of the other ones you posted lol

I'd say proexotics fire followed by the ballbids.com fiasco.

Done.

Personally, I think there's little to consider here. There's one event that stands out as by far having the greatest impact on the "Ball Python World"...as well as the entire herping community. Not to mention the shattering emotional storm that came with it. Everything else is chump change compared to the loss of Pro Exotics. It still makes me want to cry.

Pro Exotics by far. That was tragic

Pro Exotics, not only because of the tragedy of them losing all of their snakes but because of the unique and rare animals lost to the gene pool.

Pro Exotics for sure.

The clowns a ball bids should just be forgotten.

The others may be bigger stories once they are proven one way or the other.
