When I started this thread I did not make any generalizations. I only talked about my one-time experience, but that doesn't mean I will never turn to a large breeder like NERD in the future. I have no experiences, good or bad, with him. Especially I am spending a lot of money. If the price is already over $1200 why not spend the extra $200 for something from a big name breeder.
I would like to say though that people make generalizations on one-time experiences all the time. For example, if I were to go to my local Home Depot and no one offered to help me and when I did find someone to answer my questions, they couldn't, I wouldn't go back there again. I would look for a Lowe's.
But there are generalizations that are pretty safe to make about large and small breeders.
1. Larger breeders are more likely to have a bigger stock of what you are looking for.
2. They are also more insulated from the hazards of the business, such as death on arrival.
3. Probably have enough space to hold on to snakes that don't sell as fast.
