Those who are just in it for the money will eventually get discouraged and disapointed but those who truly love them will always appreciate them no matter what the financial climate is like. It's great to make a few bucks off an animal you produced but i think I get more joy from watching someone fall in love with his new reptile and knowing what that feels like. I see alot of people locally and I like knowing when one of my babies is going to a good home! We all get attcahed to certain animals but the reality is you can't keep'em all. Not Yet LOL
Very well said!
