Hi guys,
Just wanted to share my thoughts on "Why you should only buy animals from Reputable Breeders". Recently, a friend of mine bought 2 red blood pythons from LLL Reptile 3 weeks ago,
here is the vid of him setting them up.
"Boids007: New Snakes & Setting up their Cage" (12/19/08)

And within a 2 week period, he had found that the bloods were sick:
"Boids007:My Bloods are Sick"(1/2/09)

And within a week after that, one of them had died of a respiratory infection:
"Boids007:R.I.P Circe (Blood Python)"(1/11/09)

Thankfully, the one that is still ALIVE is going to be taken to a vet to get antibiotics for his respiratory infection. Could he have taken action about this problem sooner? Of course he could, and probably could have saved the first snakes life, but why would you want to take in these problems in the first place? Next time you buy an animal, PLEASE do research on the places that are Reputable and places you should stay away from! This is a very good example why you should only buy your animals from Reputable Breeders...
