With the way the ball market is 10k is cheap. 5 years ago it would have been 250k!

I totally agree with this statement Ben, new unproven possible MORPHS are still in high demand and there are many waiting for the chance to buy these.

Yes, but they don't want the free worms that come with them.

Hey,

Love the link!


I thought the free worms were like the special bonus-like when the cereal box says 10% more free!LOL


Although seriously, on one hand I have no compassion for some buyers who accidently/incidentally let thier animals perish due to parasites/common ailments. In all other facets of animal keeping from cats, to dogs, to horses, etc etc etc we give them yearly shots, regular flea treatments, and nutrient supplimented food. To not do this for our reptilian pets is a form of neglect.

A vet visit, fecal testing/worming, and anti-mite treatment should be part of the quarantine cycle by the owner. Books and internet searches on your pets needs should be done before sending the seller a paypal, but often isn't. General acclimation time is also a big issue with me. I have seen it dozens of times of when the animal is newly bought at a show it is carried around for hours until it is so exhausted it is limp, then it is stressed by the every ten minute playtime at the new home, and then in two weeks when the animal is started to show signs of a condition/disease the animal is now ignored (as the newness has worn off) and the animal is simple found dead or past the point of no return.


But I digress,
