In my opinion i would rather buy from small breeders then some of the bigtime breeders.Why you ask? Its simple SOME of the big breeders do it for the money mostly.They do not have the time to give every reptile the extra care or attention small breeders do.When i bred my snakes i could tell you everything about a snakes background.Its not always about the name of the breeder but the quality of the animals either will produce .People instead of bickering back and forth all night over something that is not going to change go enjoy your labor day weekend
