Has anything been done or is currently being done to try and stop the vast importation of bps from the wild? Even the harvesting of eggs i my opinion is taking from the wild.

I know that all of our snakes ancestors came from the wild but don't u think its time we stop importing now that we seem to have a decent stock in captivity? I know the importer/exporters over in Africa wouldn't like that 2 happen but i mean wow the vast majority of animals sent over here to just perish is ridiculus. do any of u know the exact #'s of imports?

And as a future breeder(hopefully in the next 10-15 years as a hobby mostly) stopping the importation would also raise prices for all bps and hopefully get rid of the Jimmy's out there looking 2 make a quick dollar. and hopefully strengthen the bp hobby.

What do u guys/gals think?


P.S.*- this is to all u breeders... has anyone every purchased a high price morph from u just to have as a pet and not 2 breed in the future?
