This is the only point in your post where I have a disagreement. The snake baggers in Africa are trained to look for certain things. It's not just scoop and bag. They know an unusual animal when they see it, and they will hold it back.

I will, however, concede that your idea of unusual and my idea of unusual are most likely not the same.

I think if you saw my animals you would agree they are overlooked. However, if you are implying that a banana, albino, lucy, or toffee type would be spotted, absolutely. But there are snakes I ask myself, how did they miss this...

I haven't read this whole thread but my take on imports is its time has come and gone. Yes when something new and unique is found it should go to the highest bidder, most likely a big name breeder. But there are too many people producing quality animals for us to be importing huge numbers of wc, just for big box stores to make a killing flipping them to people not knowing they are getting a parasite ridden animal.
