I have to say that's rather sad if those are your only criteria for doing business with someone as unethical and sleazy as MKR. What they did has much more of an impact than dumping 50 cheap morphs on the market, but it's a shame that there are people that can't see that or maybe they're just unable to see past their wallet.

Great points man! Don't expect to see an answer to it though...

You still don't get it. You also didn't answer my question. What if MKR came out and said they were going to take over the Boa market and put all breeders out of business. I am guessing you wouldn't be so cool with it then.

I meant by that was "it will take years to get your name out there and to get that "well known/good breeder rep, etc."

The reason I ask is because it usually takes the rest of us poor people years to build up morphs. We start with normals, breed them, sell or trade the offspring for other animals, etc.

It usually takes quite a while to be able to build up a breeding colony with one morph let alone several unless you are rich or crazy enough to borrow funds to buy animals.

So, how long ago did you get your first BP and decide on breeding higher end animals?

I am not being antagonistic. Just trying to see if you are trying to jump in as fast as you can with morphs without even successfully breeding a pair of normals.

It's a patient process, but if you KNOW it's something you REALLY want to do and you are PASSIONATE about the business, you will do it.

To me it seems that since you had already started to just give up on the whole thing, right until someone got you a good deal on a couple of snakes so you could afford them right then and there, you are just in it for the quick fix. I truely believe that to be successful in anything, you have to be in it for the long run.

I agree 100% with you guys, noone gets into morphs overnight like she wanted to.

Sounds to me like you would have given up on breeding all together if this hadnt fallen in your lap. Says a little something about your determination, I suppose. Good Luck with your endeavors, none the less. :)

if they droped the prices of high end morphs then that only means that i can invest and buy a ton more divers animals. i dont care what is said if you buy a snake for 1000 and have 5 babies that go for 300 a pice you are still going to make money. it pays off the 1000 snake and then the next year is all prophit. it is as simple as that

OK, folks, this is the 2nd time in 2 days I have had to step in and put out your flames!!! Frankly, I think this is rediculous. And some of the attitudes toward other staff is not right, this is a place we make for you to come, free of charge to YOU... we work really hard for no pay and hate to see that our hard work is basically getting peed in like the local public pool....

I would appreciate it if you could "can" the animosity toward eachother.. frankly, I dont give a hairless rats arse who bought from whom, and blah blah blah... take your squables to PM please if you plan on continuing them.

If you cant play nice in the forums and threads, please do not play at all!
