so just wondering how many snakes people have.
and i mean PETS.

so if you breed it its not a "pet".

i currently have 17, with 2 in the mail and picking up some in a few weeks.


i know i have a small amount BUT
mine are all pets, we breed nothing, and we treat all of them like there our one and only babys.

GIVE ME THE NUMBERS!

Just asking, I have 1.1 BPs , the female 6 mo younger.
I also have a pair of BCIs. For the next 3-4 years they are pets and then they are not if I decide to try my hand at breeding?

Why are they not pets if you breed them? Each and every one of mine are pets first, and breeders second. Their health and well-being ALWAYS comes first. If they could never breed another day of their life, they'd still be here as beloved pets.

Since I need to wait to make sure I'm qualified to answer, I'll hold off on the count.

exactly what I was going to ask! What is the deal with this? I am 32 years old and have 16 snakes so far. the youngest is less then a year old... I figure there is a chance that one or two of these snakes might even outlive me! (I believe the max age might even be more then 40 years!) While I do plan to sell off some of the babies I produce to put money back into the hobby, The snakes I have now will be with me until the end. (their end or my end)

So please tell me how you figure that just because I let them have children, (what they were made to do) how / why does that make you no longer consider them a pet?!

I was thinking the same thing. All of my snakes are pets, what's the difference if they breed or not?
