One thing I have been criticized for on other topics was being insistent on breeders acting like a business, there are so many whom seem to run like a underground business no address, no insurance, no record of any employees and perhaps no registration or tax information. That means they simply do not exist as far as the government is concerned. This is where it is going to bite back with no business records on file there is no income and the economic impact is reduced. I was told that each snake can bring in 30,000 a year. I am still skeptical of this big time but if even 1/3 of this the number is right.The numbers of boa breeders makes this a huge economy IF they have been registered and paid taxes on the income if not... they simply don't matter. What I believe to be the worth of the boa breeding and what can be proven by hard fact may be a huge difference. Perhaps monumental. I can't say for sure but it sure seems like this is likely the case from my perspective. It is a shame as this pseudo business practices may actually do more harm than anyone could ever have foreseen.
