Disappointment in super dwarf breeders..

[GoFride]

There are still people that will keep them pure but they might not be some of the big name people. All of the big names are busy crossing them into color and pattern morphs because it fetches more money.

That sums it up perfectly

My pair of true SD Retics isn't going anywhere and I'm not crossing them into anything. They are gorgeous and I love them just the way they are. Unforseen catastrophes aside, I should have pure true SD Retics for the forseeable future There are still people that will keep them pure but they might not be some of the big name people. All of the big names are busy crossing them into color and pattern morphs because it fetches more money. As I see it pure SD are going to become harder and harder to find so that's why I snatched up a pair. It's going to be even harder to find them if the laws get voted in to ban all major constrictors from crossing state lines.

Way to go man ! I can't stand people who would mix and match species or locales for the love of money. In my opinion, this is a matter of integrity. If your female ball python won't breed with your male ball, DON'T MIX IT WITH A BLOOD FOR MONEY ( or any other reason). A BEAUTIFUL LOOKING MUTT IS STILL A MUTT !!!!!

Being "somewhat" of an anal individual with integrity this has always bothered me..

LOL Likewise for me. I had a pair of 100% pure SD retics, my goal with them was to follow the ways of the blood python breeders (selective breeding.)

Bans are definitely a concern as well, in FL. you need a ROC license to own one, and a Class 3 Permit to sell them (which equals up to 150$ a year.) I still haven't given up though, once I move out of Fl. I plan to get back into them.
