Why can't someone start a business to make money. Not to mention that you don't get into any field of the pet industry unless you really like animals. The overall money is small and risks are great. Also if he's running a pet store, and wants to get a project running. You're gonna want the cheapest deal out there. Your average buyer doesn't give a crap about the "quality" of the snake. As long as its generally healthy and decently priced thats all they care about. Have you ever gone and talked to this guy.
