I just wanted to pose a question for conversation, (maybe should have been put in the 'breeding' section), but why do SO many people breed BP's? I understand the love of snakes, I understand the creativity in breeding different colors, but I still can't comprehend why 1/4 BP owners seems to be a breeder. Can you imagine if 1 in every 4 cat owners were a breeder? Is it the money they're after? The respect? I guess I don't get it. I mean no confrontation by this question, so please no-one get offended or butthurt. I just want educated on why so many BP owners want to be breeders. Very few Colubrid or Boa owners seem to want to become breeders. Reptile shows are now nothing but Ball Python shows because of this. Isn't this kind of self-destructive, to flood the market?

I'm sure I'll get crucified for this question by some, so bring it on I guess. Just keep it a mature discussion, because I really am curious.
