I have been thinking about this topic for a very long time.
Everything started after some books and articles I read,about what I think is a hidden timebomb in our passion (corns).Its Cryptosporidium or else known as Crypto.
I think it is something like the things in life,we say "that would never happen to me".And when it happens we need to keep it secret..
Well it hasn't happened but what are the odds when no one seems to take it under great consideration.
I have read everywhere it is so contagious and that there is no cure.For me that means that even if I have only one snake in my collection that has it,all of the others can become carriers and die of it or not,if I'm not carefull with all the quarantine and hygiene rules I must take when having corns.
How many of us keep these rules?How about the breeders?Do they all keep them?And the wholesellers who buy snakes from anyone and keep them and handle them all together?The petshops?Those who sell snakes at shows and let anyone hold anything?I keep thinking how easy is for crypto to spread everywhere under those circumstances.
What should we do to protect our collections from it?
After all many corns die and we don't know what went wrong.Isn't there a rule in the hobby that says "something can go wrong".I wonder how many times the "wrong"/cause was crypto..
I must state that by no means I want to offend someone or spread the word of disaster in our hobby.Just want to share with you my thoughts.
