I am a bit confused, was the initial animosity due to Mike selling deceased ETB babies? Fixed specimens are a staple in scientific herp collections and many folks enjoy collecting them. I saw the original ad and thought the price was a bit steep for potentially amateur fixed specimens (simply placing dead animals in fixative isn't sufficient for a long term collection) however this is a free country and if he was breaking no legal or ethical rules then it is his prerogative to offer said animals. Am I missing something?
