That is so twisted to me. I love showing people my snakes, letting them interact with the animals, etc. because I think positive experiences with reptiles makes a huge difference in individuals who simply haven't had the chance before. However, I keep dollar amounts out of the conversation (unless it's specifically asked about, and sometimes not even then) for the simple safety of people being ignorant to the fact they could take what I consider my beloved pets and sell them for some easy cash. Just so sad to think that it would cross anyone's mind, but that's how the world is. Lets hope we can find the animals and the guy who took them
