Just out of curiosity...

I see a lot of really long collection lists at the bottom of some posts. How many of you are just collectors/hobbyists who don't breed or have current plans to?

I gave up on the "list" thing

Definitely on the 'hobby' side of things, here.

I built my 4-stack vivarium, and promised that I would keep my collection to ONLY 4 snakes. Now that the condo is full, no more for me (for quite awhile, anyway).



I just don't have the time or space to do the breeding thing. Maybe down the road....but for now, I'm happy with my 4.

1 Miami Phase Corn
1 Neon Creamsicle Corn
1 Pied BP
1 Bumblebee BP

I consider myself more of a collector hobbyist. Any plaining I've done for the breeding part is more to expand my collection I guess as time goes on and I'm breeding more then I'm able to keep and selling most them that would be a nice spot to reach but I still just think of this as an interactive hobby where if you got a little luck maybe make a little pocket cash or just add to the fun

Definetly plan on breeding. Breeding as a hobbyist though.

I am going to be breeding to get some snakes that I want, that I would like to make my own. And I'm sure it will snowball into more that I want, lol... So who knows.

I asked because I (like everyone else, I'm sure) have been looking at pictures of different Morphs and I'm like, "I want that! Ohh, and THAT! I need one of those!" And then I start Googling and find out that I've mentally spent $1,000,000 on snakes that serve no purpose other than the personal joy and fascination they bring me. Then I convince myself that one is plenty, as it's a pet. The next day, I'm back on here, looking up things on your lists, finding that I MUST have a ________, and then I'd be set! But I wouldn't be set, would I?

I really, really, really want a Pewter!

Only $1,000,000.00 ?? You've done well!

I have 4 different Banana morphs on my mental list...and that's just after looking around the net for the past 10 minutes!!!

I'm gonna do the honesty thing here - I don't think ONE pet BP is enough. Having owned most domesticated animals at one point or another in my life, I can testify to the fact that snakes are DEFINITELY at the top of my list for several reasons. The effort/energy it takes to care for one properly is roughly 1/10th of what it takes to care for...let's say...a dog.

That said, I own a dog, too...and love her to death. Buy my snakes are, by far, my favorites.

GET THAT PEWTER!! They're stunning!!!

And get a Pied, while you're at it.

And a Spinner Blast.

And a Banana.

And a Desert Ghost.

And a Champagne.

And...and...and

It is a slippery slope for sure lol
you could, as someone else stated, set a limit for yourself...build an enclosure or rack o whathaveyou only big enough for your limit.

I'm in trouble now because I want to breed bps, but I'm also looking at all these other species I want. Hoggies, brb, BCI, BTS, Cresties, tegu...I don't think I want to breed all of those...but then again...dang I need to win the lottery!
