Opinions...

It is not so much about the half price thing, most of us are debating about the price of housing and feeding. He is offering these snakes at half price to help those in financial need but if they are in financial need, why do they need a snake that will cost hundreds of dollars a year in food alone plus vet bills and finding a vet that will take care of a 15 foot snake AND the cost of an enclosure

I don't usually repond to negative threads as I always strive to take the high road on such things but some of the things said here are just appalling to say the least. Certainly surprising. I have to question what the age of the status quo is here in this forum. Are most of you teenagers?

We are not some new reptile scammer on the block trying to lie, cheat and con our way to the top. We have been providing top of the line, high quality morphs for many years now and are well known in the larger snake morphs/species circles.

In addition to this we do screen each and every customer to ensure that they have enough experience with larger snake species to handle the responsibilities involved with raising large pythons. But quite frankly keeping and breeding large snakes isn't as hard to do as many of the more vocal folks here try to say it is that have probably never even had large snakes to begin with. I have noticed that the people that always say how hard it is have never even had one. And then to read such generalities as "All burmese will get 20 feet and eat 60 pound pigs" and "All burms get thrown into the Everglades" and "Burmese will squeeze you to death" is simply just absurd. It just isn't the way it is in real life. Very few burmese get that big. Very few snake owners dump their stock into rivers. Incredibly few feeding accidents occur that end up in a dead herper. Sure these things have happened in the past and even DO happen every decade or so, but not with any regularity with which to site it here as a generality or a constant.

As for the half off deal for financially disadvantaged folks, it is just what we say it is. I don't see what's so hard to understand about it and I certainly don't see where certain people have to conjur up some diabolical, ulterior plot on our part to; "trick people" or "dump our stock" or "ruin morph markets". I can't believe the level of insane, rampant paranoia on this site where everyone assumes everyone else is up to something evil and underhanded. Were not. We just want to give poorer folks a break. lol

Please try to keep these forums civil and positive and try to refrain from blatantly criticising everyone that does something that you don't understand right off. It really only can make one person look bad and it isn't the person you are bad mouthing.
