Re: Responsibilities of Breeders in Buyer Screening v.1
Let me first say that I have not had the good fortune of being able to attend a show so I base my thought on an assumption.
In my very limited exposure to reptiles in general it appears to be that there is a large lack of GOOD information available at these shows, and a growing trend of money hungry "breeders." Suggesting that breeders need to be more proactive in screening buyers (and the good ones are) is easier said than done. I feel that the greater need and i think greater exposure is at these shows.
Breeder A - "You need to do more research, you aren't ready for this BP."
Ignorant buyer - *embarassing sulk*
Breeder B - "Sure! Here is a 10ft King Cobra for only $50! He has never gotten aggressive and can be kept in a glass acquarium and its great to see him eat live rats!"
Ignorant buyer - causes a large black eye on the herp community when he gets killed / allows it to escape.
