Re: how many PET snakes do you have?
Well, my snakes all started out as strictly pets, but once I got my first morph I had dreams of breeding to get the two morphs I want most but could never afford (BumbleBee and Albino).
So, all 10 of my snakes are my pets...but I also hope to breed some of them to hopefully produce those morphs. Selling 'extra' hatchlings is a bonus. A lot like what Ashlee said. :D

two bps, two kingsnakes, and a corn.
Re: how many PET snakes do you have?
wow great replies!
i currently have 17, 2 in the mail, and one ball "pied" we bought because we love them, but then we started thinking of breeding way down the road....
but it just somthing im sure everyone thinks of....
Re: how many PET snakes do you have?
We own one BP and one corn. Tomorrow we are getting another corn, and plan to get another BP later this summer.
We got females for the first of each species because we knew they take more time to get up to breeding size, but that was not because we planned on breeding them at that point, but more of a "just in case" sort of thing. Now we are getting a male of each species to match. But that still doesn't mean we will for sure be breeding, although at this point I have a hard time imagining that we won't.
They are definitely pets first and foremost. If at any point we stop loving each and every one of them, it will be time to seriously reconsider what we are doing.
