Looking at all the advertisements on BP.net and knowing how much they cost, everyone here should understand that even though you are voicing your opinion on this forum, this is a business and making money is a part of it.
Most of the animals in breeders collections are sold over time. They are replaced with younger, and higher potential breeders, so to say one breeder is pushing them beyond their limits isn't true. The value in a breeders collections and the simple fact that one sick snake can lead to a disaster in a collection, most of the breeders I know maintain an impeccable operation with healthy and happy animals.
Those who don't, aren't successful doing this. I haven't come across anyone I would consider a "mill" in this business. If anything, the exact opposite. The largest breeders actually keep their snakes better than the hobbyist or pet owner.
Just how I feel.
