You know Nicole, I tend to agree with you on one topic. The burms and iguanas are first and second to none when it comes to reptiles in places of adoption. What I don't understand is why we, myself included, burm owners get bad names, and have to deal with the crap that we get because we own these majestic animals. Have you ever been to a Human Society. Do you have any idea how many there are in San Antonio alone. If we are talking about abused and mistreated, why not bash on the dog and cat owners as well. You want to talk about a highly abused/neglected "pet" lets talk about large dogs, pitbulls are the perfect example. Nicole, do you own any dogs or cats? If you do, then your dogs and/or cats are the same as my 5 burms, 3 retics, 2 balls, a boa, and a partridge in a pear tree. They are pets, and when I got into keeping burms and retics as a matter of fact, I understood that some can get over 20', and weigh more than twice me. That is fine by me because I was educated on the fact of that. When you see a burm, or any snake for that matter in a rescue, that is because of seller uneduction. I will be breeding burms this year, and plan to have at least 100, and selling the vast majority of them, but I will not be one of those sellers who will sell to any snot nosed kid with $100. I think the majority of problems with burms is lack of eductation by the seller. Nothing more, nothing less.
I am now prepared to take my internet forum beating. Julius, let me have it. You know you want to. I know how you feel about Burm breeders, and I am prepared to go back and forth on this topic with you.
