I'm not sure why anyone feels like it is acceptable to be rude to another person's post or offer. I agree the het albino burmese python is not equal to the value of the snow boa. However, it is not acceptable to respond in such a rude manner. Perhaps the person does not truly know the value of a het albino burmese and needs a little education. And who knows, maybe the person you insult today is tomorrows potential customer with money in hand. I had a personal experience on this website when I offered $500 for a bumble bee ball python. I know it is a low offer, but that is all I was willing to spend at the time. They responded with an "absolutely not!" when I asked him to contact me only if he was willing to accept my offer. I sent him a P.M. explaining in a professional manner why I thought the response was inappropriate and unprofessional. He responded with "a low ball offer deserves the response." A few weeks later this same breeder offered bumble bees for $550 because they "were moving". They also offered caramel albinos for $1000. I assure you I wanted to (and had the funds) to purchase these animals. But, as a direct result of the rather rude P.M., I will not purchase from this breeder. I ask everyone to respond in an appropriate and professional manner. After all, if we fight among ourselves and are divided, how do we expect to beat the impending legistlation that will negatively impact our hobby?
