As a responsible breeder, i would spend whatever it took to get an animal healthy again if it is fixable, and isnt obviously a slim chance thing.
If a snake had massive injuries that it might recover from, i would weigh the odds of that snake living, and living well, versus the cost and the reality of the situation as a whole.
I wont keep an animal alive for my own sake, but i wont put an animal down for my own sake either. I will do what is right by the animal in any case that i can. *edit* I dont care if its a morph, or a normal. They are still living animals, and have every right to the best care i can provide regardless of color. *edit*
Prevention is key. Proper housing and care to start, and you shouldnt have to worry too much about problems. Sometimes they do arise, and as the keepers of these animals, it is up to US to care for them and give them the care and medical attention they might need.
If you get an animal, and refuse to pay a vet bill because its more than the animal is worth then you probably shouldnt be owning animals period.
