We can include all the breeders on here too, if you would like. That's why I'm asking on here, BECAUSE it's the biggest forum for BP owners that I know of, therefor, it's a better chance to get some good answers, from a few different points of view.
That's exactly my point. You're looking in all of the places where people who are interested in breeding gather in large numbers and concluding that most people who own a BP have intentions of breeding. I agree that BPs are one of the most popular snakes to breed right now, but I still feel your insights are skewed because you have "caught the BP bug" and are surrounding yourself with people of similar interests. After all, it's why the rest of us are here.
