    It's the fact that the hobby is degrading to the point I accepting practices that at their given pace will allow sub dermal implants on snakes because it looks cool.

    It's not the snakes that a person personally owns, it's treating the animals we keep with enough respect that they are interesting by their own merits, not what we can tweak into them.

    Color morphs is one thing as I have said before, but changing a snakes anatomy because we can, or it looks cool, or it will make lots of money is the wrong direction entirely.

    We already have a bad rap with the whole killer snake aggression thing, and the weirdos own snakes thing, all we need now is narcissism to come along with snake ownership.

    When will the animals we keep be enough to keep us fulfilled? When can all this designer boutique crap stop? I'm all for a pretty snake, but let's put the bedazzling guns away people.
