Don't get me wrong - home breeders feed minimal amounts too. However home breeders do have a couple of advantages over pet shops IMO for a couple of reasons. First is that pet shops tend to cost a bit more and they do not have the same variety/options. Home breeders you have a whole clutch to pick from. Pet shops have one or two of various species - in the shops I have been in anyway. Lastly, generally speaking home breeders are more knowledgable and can assist more than a pet store employee who may not even keep Herps.
