My car warranty is through the make of this car, not the dealership, and when I buy my cars I put far more effort into research than me pulling out issues off the top of my head... The breeders word is my "warranty". I wouldn't buy from a breeder who I feel has a history of lying.
However you seem to be focused on one part of my post. I don't keep atbs but that community has attacked the way he keeps them. I don't keep Giants but that community has attacked the way he keeps them. Form your own opinion if that is traits of a quality breeder.
He promoted transparency with his scaleless project... Until the female disappeared all of a sudden. Then it was nothing but tight lips and shutting out people who invested in his project. This is another one that's tough because again there are things I can't prove. I will ask even his public actions through out the ordeal, are those traits of a quality breeder?
I don't keep hots, but that community seems to have no problem saying his education is misinformation and is hurting their part of the hobby. Form your own opinion there also.
His antagonizing snakes and numerous mite issue stories are hard even for the most loyal fan to deny. Are these traits of a quality breeder?
A lot of people will feel differently. Perhaps none of those issues bother you. It an opinion. My agenda now is to defend myself. Accuse me of slander? No I don't think so.
