Now you need to listen and understand why everyone is accusing you.

your wrong, about 90% of us would still own these animals If there was no profit to be made, mayb more. heck I bet 90% don't make any profit lol. Its a hobby, Its a hobby alot of us love.

with that said, have you done your reaserch? I doubt it since your asking for cheap morphs. Even from a money stand point, you have to realize the investment of money and time. once you find out your not making any money are you going to just drop the hobby? im trying to save you that grief because like I said most of us don't make money. these are live animals, alot of time and money goes into them, alot of things can happen. from an investment stand point its a really big risk to take for such a small gain. also even if there is any money to be made, if your buying babies your looking years down the road before you even see a single dollar.

Looking at some of the prices of the morphs how can anyone claim they are not breeding BP's to make money??? I am disabled and there is NO WAY I could afford some of the more expensive morphs, but that is my problem right??? The next morph I really want is an albino, but I am not sure I will be ever able to afford one. I know the prices they are going for now is pocket change to most people, but it is a helluva lot of money for someone like me!!!
I did get a really nice spider last fall, and may pick up a pastel someday and have a clutch of bees, and most likely will keep one for myself, and give the rest away!!!!!!!!!!

go to a show find what you like & haggle a bit.I got some to move & having a hard time right now.cant ship so trying to sell local.

I will never make a dime off any of my herps, and never care to. They are a labor of love only. Just like my cats.

Of course I'm gonna keep these animals if they dont sell, I've owned 4 geckos and a snake without breeding in mind for 4 years. I've liked herpetology ever since 4. Besides, I'm gonna keep the best to for myself. And yes I've done my research, I'm a responsible reptile owner. I've done all my research before getting any animal. If I haven't done my research, I would have Red tails, monitor and other big herps, but I don't have enough room. And like you haven't seen morphs for rediculously high prices. So excuse us first time teenage breeder, but we are going to be a bit nieve, even though I knew most of the info you told me.

with an attitude like the one your showing us ..... that tells me that your a stuck up little punk who thinks they know it all ... and honestly with an attitude like that its not going to get you very far in this forum or in your life ... smarten up and talk to people the right way ... have respect for your elders ... since your a teen most likely 80% of us are older than you and have been doing this since you were a twinkle in your fathers eye ... most people on here keep there snakes cause they like to .. not all of us are out for a quick $$ ... you asked a question ...now sit back relax and enjoy your answers from people with experience ... yes some of us will jump down your throat really fast if we get the wrong idea but calmly explain yourself and dont give us the "chucky cheese" attitude cause i highly doubt youll find a better forum with more experience than right here

Please tell me, what did I say to be "a stuck up little punk" I didn't say I knew it all. Like I said, I'm a first time breeder, so I am going to be neive.
Once again, I said, I'm not in it for the money. I had to beg my mom for a snake for 5 years until I actually got one. How was I rude, I just don't want people to think I was in it for the money, I get that all the time, and so do alot of first time breeders. I said what I thought, was that so wrong? I didn't give out alot of info yet people are already getting inferences. There are 3 reason's I want to breed. For the love. For the animal food. For the designer and beautiful morphs of the reptiles. Everyone get that now. I'm a teen, so I dont have anything to spend money on. Any more personal questions or problems. Come on. I want to know what or what people think I'm doing wrong.

if your in it for the love and respect of the animal thats all fine ... all im saying is just dont come on here with an attitude and expect not to get one back ... people are going to jump down your throat for any little thing you say and others will explain it to you with more of a well being ... there is alot of crap going on right now with the whole python ban going on and alot of people who are breeders and just average snake lovers get a little tense when someone thinks they can just jump right into it ... so its nothing personal directly at you ... just try to keep a calm tone when you reply or ask a question ... this is the internet so we cant hear your tone of voice when you speak your mind ... so just try to phrase things more proper is all ... cause once you start snapping back at people ...basically you lose all respect and thats when nobody here will help you ...and trust me thats the last thing you want ... sorry for calling you a stuck up little punk and a know it all but when you express yourself in that matter thats what it makes you look like ... and trust me there is always someone who is going to point out your mistakes or bad before the good
