WC Gravids?

[Shrap]

The thing is, for the amount of demand the Ball Python industry is carrying, we don't captively breed enough of them to answer the populace demand.

I have to ask, do you actually breed? Are you out in the market place trying to sell your offspring?

There are 15 or so different shows one can attend within a 3 hour drive of my house almost every month. There are 3 different shows here in Indiana, 3 or 4 in Ohio, 3 or 4 in Michigan, 2 or 3 in Illinois, a couple in Kentucky and one in eastern Missouri.

You know the one common theme among all these shows? Tables upon tables of Ball Pythons that people can not sell. And this is supposed to be the slow season when most people have little to nothing left from the previous year. Just this past Sunday at the Indy herp show there were roughly 50 vendors. 15-20 of those didnt even have Ball Pythons, but between the rest of those vendors there were roughly 500 Balls to choose from.

We dont need to stop importing, but we certainly need to cut back the numbers. There are more being bred now in the US than ever before.
