I went to a big time keepers facility this weekend, just racks for days..I was so bored I couldn't stand it, who wants to see your snake in drawer? I left and went for a walk, saw some fence lizards running around chasing bugs and it was much more satisfying than seeing snakes in a drawer!
I'm sure this won't go over well, but it is my honest opinion.

Well that is what I would suggest too, but it seems some people are interested in buying a lot of snakes and giving them the minimal requirements instead of focusing on a few snakes and giving them the optimal requirements.

For what its worth we are not focused on "buying a lot of snakes". We have acquired these snakes over a period of 9 years, only buying snakes we were completely interested in and researching each new breed before buying. I didn't plan on buying ANY reptiles at the last repticon but there was a beautiful male snow corn for $15, because he was already 3 years old. I couldn't pass that up and he is now one of my favorites.
