I agree and yet I have yet to see a post (unless I missed it) say's.. "I saw the video and called Brian because I was in the process of buying an animal from him..Heres what he said.."

The reputation of the breeder is not only made by themselves, but it is also made by the customers who had bought from them.
And yet Brian is one of the most consistently profitable breeders on the face of the earth. So I'd say his reputation is secured by said customers from the last 25 years.

Internet, and internet forums actually changed the face of the reptile industry, and aided the growth of the reptile hobby. It is no different than something such as the BBB. It makes it much simpler for them to express their customer service.
I agree it has both for the good and the bad..

Why wouldn't a thread full of reptile keepers and enthusiasts possibly wanting to purchase an animal, be allowed to inquire on the upkeep and caging of said animals?
I never said you weren't...however why would a group of truly concerned reptile keepers and possible customer if they are seriously concerned not pose these questions and accusations on an internet forum and not to the person in question..I have a theory.

1: They lack the true concern and are merely wanting to stir the pot.

2: They lack the intestinal fortitude to make the same accusations in person they do behind the keyboard..

Even lets say for a moment Brian is doing a horrid thing to these animals. Who has called him to pose these concerns to him personally.

I want to hear from you..Who has been so upset by what they saw they called Brian???
