Won a Red Tail...

I think there's a big difference between buying off craigslist and buying from a well known breeder

Honestly I disagree with this to a point. I give big name breeders their props but I think its about quality of the animal. Lately there have been several complaints (another post) about a very well known breeder regarding the quality of their animals. And why am I going to pay way more for a snake just because its from a big time breeder when I can get (in my opinion) a better quality one off craigslist?

I have several CL ball pythons and with that said I could go and inspect the animal before making a purchase. I can ensure the quality and get it at a fraction of the cost.

I just don't understand why people insist on paying for a name. I guess its Kraft over Safeway brand.. guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
