Which is it? I am curious.
please post that pm. as i rember sending it to you because you are wishy washy. one day you wanted to get a mkr tatoo on your face then the next you said they were the devil. so as i said please post that pm.

I am waiting for someone to start a BP morph registry, the way that people have the AKC for show dogs.. and the various horse breed associations.. we could have shows, contests, futurities; once the morphs become more widespread and more people have them, this would be a fun way to keep the hobby interesting.. even photo showing might be cool if people (understandably so) did not want to travel cross-country with their sensitive snakes..

I agree; but I also believe that some of that value comes from the understanding that breeding that animal in the future will bring back a return on the original investment made in buying that animal. For example, if someone offered me a Pied at $4500, that was healthy and could be bred, that is fair.. but if someone tried to sell me a snake that could not breed (for whatever reason) for that amount, I would not think it was fair.

But how would you know the snake could breed before buying it? The 4500 Pied may not breed either...

Didn't you just buy 50 females? Isn't that a step towards becoming a "big" breeder? 50 snakes at a time is not a hobbyist anymore IMHO.

As of now, there is no need to create a pedigree program or registry for BPs because the high variability and easily reproducible nature of BPs mutations is taking the place of true selective breeding.
