Normal ball pythons
When breeders produce a clutch and have normals and don't hit what they want, what do they do with them? They they give them away, sell them, or kill them so they don't have to home them. I'm just curious because seeing all these big breeding rooms makes me curious if they open space up in their collection for just a normal or do they do something different?

Re: Normal ball pythons
I've never ever seen or heard if a breeder culling normals so they don't have to rehome them. Big name breeders like Brian at BHB breed snakes that have so many genes that the chances of getting a normal are almost zero. And when they do get normals, they rehome them. Some times they hold back females as breeders but they don't kill them..

I have seen and know people that also breed Kings and King Corbras that need to eat too. Just saying.

That makes sense. As feeders maybe. I thought that the OP meant just kill them so that they don't have to have them at all.

Honestly, here lately my normals and hets have gone faster than my morph babies.

To cull them would be a waste. A normal is still a great snake and very affordable for a parent to get their kids.

The normals seem to sell faster in my area as well. As most people are buying there first snake, and the normals are in the right price range. So they will always have there place in the market.
