Pickup Vs Meeting

After reading through the BOI, I noticed that a lot of breeders don't allow pickup at there facility, I can understand this. Im wondering if then they would be willing to arrange a meeting. It obviously differs from breeder to breeder. Has anyone done this.

Why wouldn't a breeder be willing to facilitate a pick-up at their location?

If you had a million dollar (or more) collection, would you let someone come and see it for a two or three hundred dollar snake? (or even more)

A lot of the big breeders can and do give tours, but they can also afford better security than the little guys.

Breeders of other species often don't allow direct contact with their stock or visits to their facilities either for health or security purposes. I know some parrot breeders have very strict rules this way too.

Each breeder to his or her own I figure.
