Bad for profit, good for poor snake lovers.
I think it could be good for snake breeders as long as the price on the lab snakes stays high. It could mean new expensive morphs from the lab in addition to those from Africa for us to add to our breeding programs. It would also raise public awareness of snakes as pets.

If they were produced in mass quantity through cloning, you're completely right. I suppose some day it will be possible to code a snake genome to include any morph combo you want, then produce thousands of embryos with that code. Of course the same tech could be used to create a custom virus and kill us all, so I hope it won't be any day soon.
