Another way to look at this is I am taking a few specimens/pets that were sitting in a display case for almost a year. I am closely monitoring their environment, health, feeding, and separate them in their own enclosures (which one has stuck shed). In addition, I can control to whom I sell too and chose not to sell if they are not ready or fit to take care of a ball python.
Yes it may seem that I am treating this more of a business, and I do agree with that assessment. However, I am also providing the care that these snakes should of had and when I do sell them; they will be in hands of deserving owners.
Respectfully,
Galen
