People showing up with sickly animals is exactly why I pretty much quit going to shows. Scared to death I'll bring something home one day.

It's like going to the hospital or doctor's office. If you weren't sick before you got there, you will be after!

I don't think she'll show up with any animals to sell. I do think it's a possibility that she'll go to acquire more though.

Who knows? I hope I'm wrong.

But who would sell to her?

Let's not forget that this hobby is in so much trouble because of the vendors who have, do and will sell to anyone to make a buck. People who have no business with large boids or less than savory husbandry practices.

I mean, really, who NEEDS 70 boids? Who NEEDS 70 cats? No one can adequately care of those numbers of animals without a workforce of skilled employees. And no one can QT in a private facility (read: a house) with 70+ snakes.

A la the IBD's etiology maybe?

This is getting sort of off topic, but I DO think it is entirely possible for someone who SOLELY relies on their reptile keeping and breeding, and doesn't have another job, to properly care for that many snakes. It's POSSIBLE. It isn't EASY, but possible.

but she shouldn't be breeding them anyway. It should be a literal crime if she sells any of her snakes at this point...

Obviously not in this case.

It would take someone exceptional. But she's exceptional for all the wrong reasons...And the very reason this thread exists is testimony to that.

I wonder what any of the vendors from last year's Austin Expo would think about having their animals in the same room with as ones that are possible carriers of a very serious disease.

Now, watch those pictures disappear! I wonder why the Jampea wasn't there? Probably because he was visibly ill! She had him for sale just 13 days after the dates on those pictures.
