I can confirm what Sarah is saying. A few years ago, when they were using the name Colorado Reptile Rescue, they had a trio of Blue Beauties for adoption.
A customer of mine, who had purchased some of my Blue Beauties that I had produced inquired about adopting that trio in order to further diversify his bloodlines.
There was, at the time at least, no mention of their stance on captive breeding on their site. He paid the $30 application fee ($10 per snake), and once they realized he intended to use them as breeders he was flatly denied the adoption request.
Their exact quote to him was
Quote:
CoRR does not support the breeding of reptiles when there are so many who need homes, regardless of the species or rarity

It took him 60 days and the threat to have the credit card charge disputed to get his $30 back.
I applaud the vendors who refused to do shows with them. I for one would not want to share show space with a group so obviously opposed to what I do.
