No matter the crime? So hypothetically, if a breeder with a fantastic reputation and amazing animals made the mistake of getting in a car drunk and killed a child, would that tarnish their reputation or should they still be given a break. It's a stretch, but I find it hard to believe that there is no line that can be crossed that would make a person turn the other way no matter how good the service or the animals?

Jeanne, please don't take this as me suggesting you are right or wrong ... I myself don't really know where I stand on the issue ... I have some very good friends that have done some shady things and it is certainly very troubling ... I was just really looking for more of a discussion about what makes a seller a good seller and should their personal acts outside of the selling of reptiles bear weight on a buyers decision to do business with them? .... Is having great service and amazing animals enough or do consumers hold sellers to a higher standard?

Am I losing everyone on this ... I'm really not trying to stir the pot ... just asking a question.
