Actually this has been happening for a long time. Not all of those '100 lot' sales of captive hatched ball pythons out of Africa are going to breeders or pet stores. People who keep cobras buy them too.

Sure. I realize that.
The point was more that some people get annoyed or angry when someone selling a rat or mouse wants it to end up as a pet rather than as food, like the person selling has no right to want their animal to be valued as someone's pet. "It's my rat I'll do what I want", but I'm sure some of those same people would be unhappy if they themselves were selling their cute little BP hatchlings as pets or future breeders and someone just bought one and tossed it in the cobra tank.
It is okay to use pine bedding for snakes.
It is okay to feed live food to snakes.
