What a load of rubbish!
I wouldn't have enough fingers to count the amount of times i have asked people "who breeds this?", "who breeds that?", not just that i want to know who produce top quality animals. A lot of breeders will just sell animals when they're not feeding and they won't inform you of this, or they will not inform you it is a live feeder (which may not be something you're willing to do). Then there are others who will not sell an animal until it is feeding for itself - the best type of breeder.
I have a lot of friends that keep venomous, and I am looking to get some Forest Cobras, but none of them knew anyone who bred them, so i had to ask others in Europe - am i not ready to keep them?![]()
