First off there are no reputable sav breeders.

Secondly wtf does that last line mean?
I'm sure there's someone who breeds and makes sure they go to a good home..

I was meaning dogs and cats go into shelters and it's preferred to adopt rather then buy from a breeder who doesn't care where the animals go.

Re: Monitor enclosure discussion thread

It's an interesting position to take so indignantly, Aaron; given that you breed one of the few reptiles killed more often than Boscs. Do you know how many of the BPs youve bred are alive still now? What percentage have died from poor care? How responsible are you for their deaths?

Just thought I'd throw a similar wrench in the works for you.

Lots. I talk to most of my customers on a regular basis. They keep me up to date.

I know of only one that has died. Each one of my customers knows how to contact me if they have any trouble.

I am not responsible for any deaths based on the fact that I sell directly to consumers who know what they are doing. I am a breeder. I don't sell pet store stuff usually so most people take care of their animals. Like I said though, if they don't reach out to me then I can't help them and I am NOT responsible for any death.

You can try to twist it around on me because I keep and breed ball pythons but honestly, it has nothing to do with import savannahs and pet stores. I am talking about giving bad pet stores money. I am not a bad pet store who's somehow going to kill each animal I breed or buy.

Try harder next time.

Yeah. There are really no sav breeders.
