Not intent on breeding?

I definately hope that any prospective breeders are prepared for the costs, stresses, and possibilities for disaster. As well as the possibilities of producing awesome healthy snakes. :) See, breeding any animal is not this formulated thing that always goes according to plan without hinderances and unexpected events. That is part of what makes it so exciting to me. Every snake that I produced last year, had me stunned, just to look at it and know that I was the reason that it was on earth. The flipside to that is the heartbreak I went through the past 2 years with some clutches going bad.
This hobby would be not much fun, without the comeraderie that goes along with it. What fun would it be to breed awesome snakes if no one else appreciated your efforts and was interested in this? Not much, to me. My family (non-snakey people) would definately grow tired of hearing me blabber on about pinstripes, incubators, and rat sizes!
Breeding.. is definately something that has to be done to be appreciated and understood. BUT.. if someone lacks the finances and patience and genuine love for the snakes and the hobby, IMO they are failing from the start and will sell their snakes in a year or so.
