Opinions...

I came across this Ad and thought that I would share it with everyone else. With all of the talk of morph sales and the future of the market I thought I'd jump in with this and let you all voice your own opinions...

Ya think ! If and when I get an email from a "potential customer" asking me if I have income-adjusted price brackets for the same animal, I will know who to blame ! Louisiana ... Huey Long ..... some ideas don't die easy. Good luck Dave .

I read this thread and just thought it seemed strange at first. Half price on morphs for those under a certain income..WTF? What's next, buy one get one free Albinos? Get real, if you want to sell your snakes for $500, sell them for $500!

What do they do pull credit checks and want to see your WICA card

Sounds like MKR with better Public Relations

Oh boy... this is gonna get ugly!

Sounds like another MKR in the making!

Also IMO you can either afford to get a morph or you can't.
I will admit I can't afford much BUT I am saving up to get a morph in the future... from a well known breeder. I'd rather pay the extra $$ and get a top of the line morph from good blood lines.... not just from any joe schmo who just wants to make a few extra $'s who sells "morphs" on the street corner.

Lol.....They have those new Ball Python morph stamps that you can cash in for a good morph from the Welfare office. I'm not rich at all and would like things cheap but this is not gonna to fly. If you wan't to help poor kids tell George Bush to help build more jobs and higher paying jobs and stop out-sourcing.

this doesn't have to get ugly, and i don't think it is a mkr thing., imo.


i disagree with this part of an explanation,


" No, this is custom-tailored for disadvantaged people that don't have it so easy. That don't have good paying jobs. That don't have well-to-do family to help them in times of need. That are on their own. There are a lot of folks that just barely make ends meet and I came up with this notion so as to help such people to have an opportunity to actually turn things around for themselves."


imo, if you can't afford food or the basics of life. keeping and caring for reptiles and other pets shouldn't be first on your list. our reptiles are a luxury to me and my family and also a responsibility as well. most luxuries in life have some form of cost. what about health care and vet costs??

The only reason I compared to MKR is because my reasons for not supporting this individual and MKR would be the same. Half priced morphs do nothing to support the market no matter who is buying them. I sacrifice a lot of things financially to be able to care and expand my collection, and breeders like this who think they are helping; and I'm not saying he doesn't have good intentions by doing this, are actually hurting me and my plans for the future. That was all, I definitely don't think this will get ugly though for I do feel this guy has different reasons for doing what he's doing than MKR did.
