This seems to me to be comparing apples and oranges. The bottom line for a breeder is probably in reality supply and demand. If the breeder felt that people were standing in line to buy his clowns then his response to a request for pictures was a logical one. If he felt that there is a fair chance that he might watch his clown hatchlings grow into big clowns then maybe his response to a potential buyer wasnt too smart. I myself would have just found another breeder who seemed more interested in making a sale, as it ended up playing out in this case.
