how many PET snakes do you have?

im not saying if you breed it, its not a pet...
what i meant was, IF you bought an animal for the sole purpose of breeding, then i dont consider it a pet, i consider it a investment..

or hobby.

not a pet.


just to clear things up.

oh ok, I guess its personal preference. Because not only is it an investment, its a responsibility. Thats what I think a pet is.

its just a preference...

i think if someone buys an animal for the sole purpose to make money, its not a pet....

i agree but like me i bought my carpets as pets and possibly to breed next year =]

i have 8 snakes. i love them all and they are all pets. i did originally get my 2 anery KSB's to breed with my normal but i love them just the same.

if my balls breed id sell them off and same if i ever get a girl BCO or BCI and they wanted babies id breed them and sell them. but they are all just pets.

fantastic pets.

:P

i have 6, cause i downsized... none are breeders yet.
i am hoping to get back up to 9 or 10 by next spring, but i doubt that will happen =]

I bought my snakes first and foremost because i found them to be unbelievably beautiful animals (pets), thats how it started.. the added bonus of mojo x mojo is having the BEL something i wouldnt be able to afford if we didnt have two mojos, same thing with pastel x spider, pastel x pastel, exc.. our first supers/bees/exc will all be pets as well, for our personal collection. The added bonus of profit from babies we do not intend to keep is where the business comes in.. were certainly not looking to get rich and we do not intend to have hundreds and hundreds of snakes either..

Pets first, breeding is an added bonus. My boa is strictly a pet, i think they are beautiful snakes also but do not have a desire to breed boas, i do have the desire for BPs though.

Hi,

I have 2 snakes and lots of animals... I do love each and everyone of them (llamas, goats, ducks, hens, lots of rabbits that I breed), etc.

My two snakes are a normal corn and a ball python that will arrive tomorrow around noon:gj::gj:!! And I'm very excited.

I don't intend on breeding because I wouldn't be able to sell even one in my part of the woods. Anyway, I have enough without starting to breed... They're both my pets and I will take very good care of them.

I bought them from people who couldn't keep them anymore. I like buying dogs and other animals from people who (for any personal reason) aren't able to take good care of them anymore. I don't judge those people. At least, they don't let their animal suffer and sell it or put it up for adoption.:gj:

My regards to everyone

Jojos from Québec, Canada

I have 14 pet ball pythons.:D

I have 9 snakes at the moment. While a couple of them may become breeders in the future they were all bought because they were a species I was interested in and wanted to experience owning. I didn't get any of them thinking, "Oh I'm gonna breed this one when it gets old enough." The closest I came to that was when I bought my pair of Irian Jaya Carpets but even then, I got them because they came as a package deal for a very good price. If they had been two males or two females I would have gotten them anyway.
