Comparable or no?

Exactly! Everytime I watch a video from a large scale breeder and they pull out a snake do I hear 'this snake is so sweet and has a great personality, etc etc'?

No, I hear 'Look how cool this is, look how many genes it has, its a great eater so hopefully next year I can get some babies from it'.

I just don't think large scale breeders really care about their animals the same way a hobbyist does.

I wouldn't be so quick to judge. Some may not care and maybe it's only about money for some of them but don't lump them all together because I guarantee most of them are very passionate about these animals or they would of never made it as far as they have in This business. Most of the breeders in it for the money don't last very long because it is not easy money as most of them assume it is before they get into it. Once they find out it's a lot of work most of them just quit and look for their next easy plan to get rich.
