For someone who has done so much research and completed as much schooling as you have, you sure do come off as a regular moron.
First off, your greatest motivation for breeding BPs is the money. Go to kingsnake.com, see the HUNDREDS of baby BPs on sale, witness first hand the morphs for sale and then realize that you have no shot, because you are not :
1- a reputable breeder ( you're a guy that sees a quick buck)
2- knowledgeable enough to create snakes worth buying. (It has nothing to do with being a genetics major, it all comes down to research. I knew nothing 2 weeks ago, I now have a collection to start breeding not for the money, but for the love of BPs and taking part in something as amazing producing piebalds, bumblebees, etc.)
3- smart (you can say all you want, you can measure a person's intelligence by what they say.)
Forget what the nice people here told you and listen to me...do NOT buy, own, care for, house or raise a BP. They are amazing creatures and deserve amazing owners, not people who see fast money and when it doesn't happen...abandon their animals. Because I have a feeling if you raise a female for 2 years, she'll be on a classified listed after the first year. My $.02, keep the change.
