Purely out of curiosity... Do you have one or two snakes that you get especially attached to, as pets? Do you have one or two that you handle more often than the others and treat as pets?

If so, do you also breed that one or two?

If not, do you miss that attachment? Or is there some other quality associated with the snakes that keeps you interested without having to have that companion-animal attachment?

I'm wondering in part because my personal experience has been that whenever I turn something I love into a money-making venture, I usually end up enjoying it considerably less than when it was just a hobby.

I'm wondering whether that has happened to any of you, and if so, what you do to make sure you keep on enjoying it. Or do you just see it as a business venture, pure and simple, and not really worry about whether you're enjoying it?

Thanks in advance for humoring me.
