My point was that it's always a risk when you mail animals to someone you don't know. You've turned it into some giant flame war. Personally attacking me when all I did was point out the fact that this is going to happen.

If the OP thinks this doesn't happen then hes very naive and obviously hasn't dealt withthat many people. I take in rescues too the ones that the breeders sell to people and don't make sure the people know what they're doing or have any experience. After reptile shows i get slammed with requests to take in the snakes. If someone feelings are hurt being educated about how the world works then I don't know what to say.

I only sell my snakes to people I meet in person. Because it's about the snakes for me. They are the victims. Just because you pretend it isn't happened in doesn't mean it's not happening.
