    What's the Point of Having a Bunch of Pythons?
    Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's a bad thing. As long as your snakes are healthy and well taken care of, go for it! I'm curious, though. For those of you with a large "collection," what's YOUR motivation behind having multiples of the same species?

    Personally, I'm content with my one little monster... Python-wise, anyway. I still have to talk myself out of a rainbow boa and a super dwarf retic on a daily basis.

    So let's hear it. Why do you have X # of ball pythons?

    everyones reasons will vary, different colors, breeding, etc. It's kind of like asking why you would have more than one dog...

    different colours, shapes males and females to breed, like a collecting obsession

    Because they are pretty, and sweet. If I could afford it I would have 2 of each. Also breeding and enlarging gene pools. Better to not inbreed even in snakes. The different combos you can make between different morphs is pretty darn cool.

    Having one is like eating one potato chip.

    I bought my first BP on the 5th October and I was terrified I'd wake up the next day and think "what have I done?!" Quite the opposite reaction, I found myself browsing classified, all of the time and researching everything. I got addicted to Snake Bytes on youtube.

    I took me all the way until about two weeks later to snap up a het albino boy (who I absolutely adore)!!

    Tonight I got my baby spider and tomorrow I am adding to my collection. All of mine (apart from one coming tomorrow as she was part of the deal) would fit into breeding plans should I wish to breed and even if I don't I just love to be around them. I live alone and they really make my little flat into a home. One just was not enough for me.

    1.0 het albino - Claus
    1.0 spider - Castiel

    Because the ladies dig it :cool: .

    Lol, for me it's the potential in breeding projects, plus snakes are just plain cool in my eyes.

    I dare you to ask the same question to those people out there who have 20+ cats. And compare their replies to most of the folks with "collections".
