    No other event had more impact on me than hearing about the Pro Exotics fire. Arguments over morphs being proven or unproven, or having health issues, are pretty standard fare around here. The ballbids.com thing was interesting, and certainly provoked a lot of discussion, but it just doesn't have the same kind of effect on the community as the loss of an entire company's worth of animals and the gene pool that went with them.

    The pro exotics fire makes me cry every time I think about it. All those poor snakes dying in that matter is just so sad. And then chad brown loved those reptiles so much. He had a passion for snakes since college. If it was me I'd probably be so sad thinking about all my babies that I'd never get to hold again I respect him so much because of how strong he is!

    To me its the PE fire. That was the greatest hit to the BP world in some time and may be the the biggest of time. The where innovators and pioneers in the industry that actually cared for there animals more then "just stock in a rack". JLC put it the best in my mind.

    PE fire was a tragedy for sure. also on top of the dessert and toffee fiasco lets not forget the banna/coral glow whatchamacallit. ballbids? ballbids who?

    but the story of the year at least if you look through the threads on this site IMHO would have to be.
    drum roll please......
    ......So Since there are so many female keepers

    Can someone link me to this ballbids thing? Just curious what happened.

    I voted the PE fire, it was so tragic. A very big story indeed.
