Big WC Females ? Worth it ?

[nita]

All breeders try to push CBB, after all that is what they are selling. I didn't say they "demand" you don't buy WC, but they very strongly push against it siting the obvious health risks and how bad it is to take from Africa since there are so many CBB, the next day they are showing off what they just got in. I know there are breeders out there that don't take WC or CH, but they are few and many times the ones that can't afford the thousands of dollars required as a minimum purchase. Honestly what doesn't end up in the pet trade though as someone stated is sold as meat or sold for its skin. Sad but that is how it works. Africa doesn't seem ready to put stricter limits on snake exports, not that the limits are adhered to as it is.

Shawn, bingo; Long term captive. That terms can have vastly different meanings though, so be careful. I've had a breeder tell me that a snake that he was selling as LTC had only been in his possession for 6 months, prior to that it was slithering along some grassland in Ghana.

"when I say "big" I don't mean alot of snakes. More like ego, big head and beer belly."

LOL!!! Are you referring to any "big headed, beer-bellied, big breeder" specifically?
