To me buying a questionable animal just because it's "cheap" is false economy if I end up spending a fortune at the vet. I feel that with a professional breeder I have much lower risk of buying an animal that is unhealthy, I don't want to spread diseases among my animals for sure, but as a pro that would destroy your business. I'm not going to pay massively over market value, but I'm happy to pay at the high end of the spectrum for a good quality, healthy animal.
    I'm sure others feel the same way and are willing to pay more for quality.

    I may differ in the definition of a professional in that I consider a professional BP breeder someone that makes their entire living from breeding and selling snakes. There are some, like Outback, that don't just sell what they breed but flip snakes from other sources. There are the obvious Pro's like BHB, NERD, JKobylka, Ralph Davis, etc. but there are some that frequent this forum that also make their living from breeding.

    That said, there are some people that frequent this forum that I do not consider Pro's but that I would not hesitate to purchase snakes from. I could name a few but then I'd have to name them all. Point is you can get very high quality snakes from hobbyists also. And some of those hobbyists advertise their snakes for sale on Craigslist.
