What makes you assume that I don't take care on who I Blacklist and who I don't? Blacklisting is something I take very seriously, but I would like to Thank You for pointing out those scenarios for beginners to this hobby. :jg:I think you should take care in who you decide to blacklist.
I would like to believe that too, however my experience tells me that simply is not true.I would like to believe that no one with any once of respect for their animals would knowing participate in this and supply their animals for auction.
I have read the entire thread and understand there shenanigans. As for if it is appropriate or not to add someone to MY blacklist, well thats MY decision. Blacklisting is absolutely effective. I understand all the what ifs that can happen, however IF I discover that someone is knowingly providing animals to these individuals they will be added to my Blacklist. These guys are not hiding their identity's, therefore we KNOW who not to sell to. Don't make Assumptions about my post. Just because I have recently joined does not mean I am new to this hobby.It has been noted on here already... but it seems they simply buy animals and then use the person who they bought off to up their own creed.
Blacklisting a breeder for selling them a snake is not an effective means of containing the situation, nor an appropriate one.
Anyone can buy a snake off a breeder, it in no way reflects an involvement on their part, just a lack of honesty on the part of ball bids for inferring there is a connection between them (which they have since admitted there is none).
BruceIf anyone has any questions feel free to contact me. I am very approachable.
