in all seriousness tho, defiantly for the joy of it. i have wanted a snake for the past 7 years, and it was really exciting when i finally bought mine this past February.

I can't really explain it but they are just so darn cool!!

I started with a bearded dragon and have been hooked on herps ever since!

That's really brave of you. Kudos!! :clap:

my reason for having a BP 5yrs ago was to have as a pet. im allergic to dog/cats/bird etc... snakes was the best way to go. the begining of last year i decided to get into the world of breeding, i dont have large amounts of $ so regular/simple morphs & normals is what i would like to start to breed. then move up to more interesting morphs one day.

I hate when people get into a hobby like this for money alone. Because it's a 'big money market'. Bothers me a lot.. I just heard of someone doing this the other day and it made me mad.

Money is always a good thing, but it's not nearly as important as caring for the animals you have. You need to love the hobby to be good at it. The experience is priceless as well.

I handle different snakes daily. I love them all. They are all my pets with names and future breeders. I want to create more of these amazing animals for people to enjoy as much as me.

I always liked snakes and I always wanted one for a pet. Then my husband said it was his dream to have a BP, but he had no knowledge of snakes at all and it wasn't a BP that he wanted but it took him a while to figure that out. By then we were both wildly in love with Dax. I think what he meant was either a RTB or a burm. I'm still not sure though and I don't think he is either.

BECAUSE I HAVE A WICKED ADDICTION!!!!!!!!!!!! AARRGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I NEED MY FIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I chose them all. As for the making money part. I just want to make enough monies to buy more snakes! Mostly it is to be cool though.....to be very very cool. heh. I am so funny....right...right....

I like bps cause they're an easily manageable python. I like the shape of the head and body proportions. I just think they're good looking snakes. I want the many morphs, but I also want to breed so others can have them :) If I happen to make a profit, great! if not, then at least I have my hobby that I enjoy that keeps me out of trouble ;)

phew! thanks doc!

I own ball pythons first and foremost for the love of the animals. I've always had pets for as long as I remembered and after my first snake I was hooked. Then the first time I saw a pic of a bumblebee I was hooked on morphs and started breeding to slowly build up my collection.

I am yet to break even but thats fine by me. My collection grew from 1 snake to now 30 adults and 30 babies. I just want to breed to build up the collection of various morphs. Breaking even would just be an added bonus.

I would say to be cool... but I would need new hair, clothes, and a new CD collection for that (and perhaps one of those Ipod things all the kids are rocking these days).

And I cannot afford that as I spent all my money on snakes.

Worst part is that snakes really aren't that cool. Except for the pinheads that take them out in public who ever sees them?

They sleep all day. Hide 90% of the time. And when they are out people never really want to see them.

I need a dog or something.

Nuts to the snakes... they are B-O-R-I-N-G!!!!
