I've got a small collection of ball pythons. Eventually, I want a collection big enough where I'd be able to start breeding (not sure yet... still on the fence about it due to the outbreak of the market crashers... I figure the less people breeding the better, but I really want to try breeding), but I'd like to get all of the basic dominant and co-dominant morphs needed to make 2 gene designers, etc. I know that it's a long process, but I love scales more than the air I breathe.
Anyways, how would you go about making room? I've never given any of my snakes away before, and I'm not sure what to do. I have a couple of normal bp's that wouldn't really fit into any projects, and as much as I'd love to keep the little guys I'm looking at things financially down the road, and it'd just be easier to let them go. I don't want to give them away to anybody -- If they end up in the hands of some collage ditz who thinks it's okay to feed them live mice once a month only to give them away when they have to move back home with mommy I might do something I'd regret. I want to be as responsible as possible about this, so what do you recommend?
I guess if I decide not to breed it won't be a problem, but I'd like to consider everything before I decide.
Thanks in advance!
