I feel your pain man. But on the other hand, if I were a big breeder I wouldn't let anyone in my facility for all of the above reasons either. That said, I was having a hard time scheduling a tour of a large Northeast Facility so I just got in my car and drove there.

Once the folks met me they dropped everything and gave me a private tour. I'll bet they just love it when people like me show up on their door step. I really didn't expect the red carpet treatment and I can't thank the owners enough for taking the time to show me around. It was so nice to see every snake in the place and make my choice accordingly.
