    No, I think it's much less likely. Thats the best you can hope for really.




    This is a very common thought because it's the easiest to believe. I can't change that excpet by beating the same drum over and over. Ten years ago when I lived in Florida I was preaching that Burms and Retics would be a problem in South Florida, and it would slap the entire hobby. Look where we are today? I am saying now that, we have reduced some species of snakes, pythons in particular, to such cheap animals because they are mass produced, that they will in the long run do more harm that good for the hobby. How many times do you think a politician will need to hear a shelter say they cant' take anymore ball pythons...and that it's a real, costly problem, before we can't keep them anymore? is that really worth selling a baby snake for $10?

    Ohhhhhh, now I get it.

    YOU get to choose for all of us what we do.

    You have one point of view and do not see any other.

    I say yours is flawed and therefore invalid.

    You have every right no only to have it, but to proclaim it from every forum that will let you.

    That does NOT make it valid though. Nothing will.
    I may not be very smart, but what if I am?
