Think you may want to clarify this a bit - what do you class as a breeder?

Yes there are people that breed that I trust, that I would never consider a 'money driven leach'!!!

And why on earth would they all die??

Slightly confused here.

there are people who sell and pople who breed and and people who breed and sell. i find those who only sell as, well.. people who have no clue about snakes. i was wandering, among those who have clue, are there onece who really deliver 'good blood' or it is just a myth?

Do you mean line breeding for positive traits such as good feeders?

If so, then I should surely hope so, that the snakes should be judged as to whether they are good enough......although I do think there are instances where bad feeding rare snakes can still be used to increase captive population.

yes and no. i was wondering if the snake is better on not from 'good breeder' (that does not apply to my babies - they depend on me unfortunately ) but on those who live in the wild life. that was my question-since you mentioned it - are they good enough or not what is the bottom line? who decide if its gonna live or not. snake depending on where you bought it or what worst - thermostat or human depending on thermo and having no clue how the it works?
