People are just too impatient to start making money.

captivecaveman and barrym
I was just using that phrase as an example, i'm not saying it's the sellers fault. what I am saying is I know there are MANY users on here who do just that, buy something with no intention of following QT. buy with the intention of breeding that snake right away. I'm not saying that the sellers are wrong for saying "will breed now" etc i'm saying that i'm amazed by the amount of people that think it's ok to do exactly that. Like Christy said the illnesses are out there, it can happen, to me it's just not worth it. I'm shocked by the number of people who are totally ok with taking the risk. Mason

I agree with you Mason, but some people see money only and that is what they are bothered about nothing else. My only point on quarentine procedures 3 to 6 months some problems can take longer than this to show. even 12 months on some things, and longer if they are carriers. I think the only thing is be carefull who you buy off, and physically to look and touch the said snake and form your own opinion if not happy don't buy use your head, not your heart or impulse. slither61

approx 8 weeks. we were very confident in the seller. We have a QT room for those that we are not. Everything else get 4-6 months min. there are a few keepers I know well enough to trust, for anyone else it's QT. Mason

 , i thought you were having a go at sellers, as i myself would buy or sell with the comment of "would breed.....", but that was/is meant as with quarentine, but then i wouldn't buy or sell at this time of year purely cause i'd want to either keep and breed, or if i was buying, buy at a time that gives me enough time to feed-up, brumate etc

Would you class your snakes still at risk though, as you havent observed the full quarantine period you would with other snakes, because to a buyer of your snake who may not know you or the breeder/seller you got the snake/s from it may not matter because they don't have the same relationship with the breeder/seller as you do. Which is why I asked

Amen! Far too often I see things like this, and frankly I think it's terrible, I keep all new purchases in a different room and gradually introduce them to the main collection after 3 months. If they miss breeding season then so be it, it will come back round as quick as you can say breeding season. Would you link "will breed for you this season" with people being in it for the money?
