Can everyone agree on at least one thing.
Agree to disagree!
Be happy that we all have homes, and can offer our homes to these wonderful reptiles. We are all here because one day we wandered around the internet looking for a place where other people loved the reptiles that we do. How our animals came to us is not the big picture, it is loving that new snake smell, the excitement of the first snake you brought home, you didn't care where it came from, you just cared that you had this amazing animal to share your life with.

Now would it be so different if I where to go to a place I know that has tons of bull snakes and catch them to sell, or maby go to the nesting areas during that time of year and collect eggs? I could "save" so many from the locals who all they see is a snake that will hurt them/livestock.

The suply must not fit the demand, I have been trying to buy another bp from my local stores, but since I got my first one, I have not seen any more in the stores. Going price for a normal around here is $69. Sell your snakes out here if you want to make more than $20.

If you don't like WC don't buy them. If you do like WC buy them. Just take good care of them. Just don't keep fighting about who is right and who is wrong, in that battle there is no winner.

You are all such wonderful people in your own ways, if we where all the same , how boring would it be?
