So Why Do You Have So Many Snakes?

[Arsinoe]

I'm just curious....To those who have a butt load of snakes and do not breed for sales. Why do you have them? I mean if you have to keep them in storage bins and don't handle them daily. And like some say you don't think they have feelings..What is the point?

Also what is the point of having poisonous varieties around? Unless you sell the venom that is.

If it wasn't to sell, I personally wouldn't have so many snakes. I do not have any venomous, but I do find them fascinating.

If it wasnt for breeding I prob wouldnt have the amount that I do , for the ones that dont breed its prob more of an addiction.

I have a few snakes and I do breed (but I don't breed FOR sales. I breed because I like producing cool snakes. I will sell offspring, but that is not the main reason I do it)

I handle my snakes semi-often. Also, I don't believe they have feelings but I do keep them because I personally like them. They are like living breathing works of art and I enjoy their company.

What's the point of keeping any reptile? Or how about fish? I don't take them out and play with them either. What's the difference between owning one snake and 20 snakes if they are all housed and cared for equally? For myself I find snakes pretty interesting, they may not be the most exciting pet around but it's a little piece of wild in your home. I own one snake at the moment but would like to add difference species and a BP morph or two, just because I like the way they look. Same reason most people get pets.

I breed but someone said something as to why they keep a ton the other day...they said that the other part of the hobby is collecting. Just like baseball cards, or anything else that is collected, you don't just get one.

They are like poke'mon. I just have to collect them all.. I am hoping to get Squirtle here soon and make me a Bulbasaur this year as well
