babies vs adults at shows

Here is what I can think of

The pet owners: They want to see their animal grow, with many morphs becoming more and more affordable (<$1000) many people chose to have them as a pet and want to see their pet grow.

The breeders: For people looking into breeding the thought process when they see an adult is what is the problem with it.

Adult being available for sale make some people wonder, they wonder if there is something wrong with the snake, lazy male, female having issues etc, some those people don't realize that people who breed "upgrade" their collection as they go, letting go of proven breeders normal, single gene etc to replace them by multiple gene animals.

All points where very good, its depends on what ones plans are now or in future. A lot of onfo here today


thanks

OK I just started breeding but have had snakes for a long time. I usually dont buy adults of anything but recently bought a couple adults from people I knew and people I had checked out before hand. The reason I usually buy younger snakes that I am planning to breed is that I want to be a led to handle them for awhile before they breed. I really don't feel like putting my hand near a ticked off mom that has eggs and that I don't know. If I have handled the female for a year or two I know her body movement and after she has the eggs if something isn't quite right.
