The way I look at it is that there going to be a number of people that look at what some of the bigger breeders have done and think....whooooweeee I can get rich overnight! They are fools, at least in my mind.
If it's all about the money they aren't going to last and what they produce is likely to be crap because they didn't care about the quality of their snakes, their health, the genetics, the BP market and in the end....their customer. What they cared about was the bottom line and even though you have to realistic about that bottom line....if that's all there is I won't be spending dollar one with that so called breeder.
What attracted us to 8Ball was Adam's passion for Ball Pythons. Sure he's got to be a smart business man or he'll fail - that's a given. His passion guarantees me that he will strive to produce only snakes he himself is proud of....not just crap to make a buck off some idiot who doesn't know better. Breeders like Adam, Ralph, Kara & Kevin, Joe and many more....produce gorgeous snakes and encourage a strong viable ball python market, encouraging us newcomers with their wisdom, support and advice.
I can't think of another group of people I'm prouder to be associated with even in my own nobody from nowhere kinda way!![]()
