Ill answer this one for you.
Absofreakinlutely.
These comments are the product of someone that knows very few to no people who are well versed in reptiles as a general rule, and probably never asks a single question outside of how to breed their ball python.
And while i cant say thats necessarily a BAD thing in general *everyone starts somewhere*, the fact of the matter is, this person is insulting in their tone, and posts to someone far more educated than them and speaking in a manner of authority upon information of which they have very. very little clue.
Ignorance these days astounds me. And the petty assumption made here, because they do not see pictures online on Ball Pythons.net featuring these animals, so therefore they must not be popular, just has me mashing the keys in such a way that i have to backspace a whole heck of a lot!
