wow thats quite exspensive for a childreni unless its some special morph or something
A lot of people seem to have a fundamentally flawed concept of supply and demand... prices will drop because more people want pet snakes and there are more available. Nothing you can do about it.
Pythons Rule for some reason I couldn't quote your post, but in it you say "it should be classed as a job"- I bet if you were told to get an ABN and start paying tax you wouldn't think that way.
Also some people have been saying to start out with more common species, breed and trade to less common/higher end species and then a few lines later in the same post criticising how people should stop breeding spotteds because there are so many thousands available. Come on people get your arguments straight haha

waruikazi, I think you're on the money. It seems like there's a lot of people who think it's their god given right to make money from reptiles, and in the past it has been much easier to do that. But guess what? Times have changed! There are very few true hobbies that run at a profit, that's the difference between a hobby and a job.
So, close down pet shops selling reptiles, close down URS, SR, SxR and anybody else who makes living out of reptiles because it's not their god given right to make profit. Times are changing - welcome to the world of socialism where everybody can have everything for nothing and all are equal. Viva Fidel!

Forget about so called investment / profits / money. The thing is, wether we agree or not, like it or not; our hobby is dealing with so called 'protected' fauna this sets it apart from any other business and hobby. As it stands now we are seeing more dumped animals with this expected to increase both in numbers and species. How long do you think it will be before more organised publicly supported lobby groups start asking the government how are they protecting this species when x amount of them are being dumped by the hobby. Do you really think the governments response will be? supply and demand will sort that out. They will be forced to regulate more.
