Breeding normals?
Does it bug you when you hear of people breeding normals?
My personal though is, there are too many normals in the world, and we should try to limit getting more. Not saying we should put them down, but instead of norm x norm breeding, do norm to pastel.
Whats everyone's opinion?

Nope not in the least... in fact I think we need more CBB normals. I think that reducing our demand for imported everyday pet store normals and replacing them with high quality captive bred babies would boost the ability of people to enjoy them with out many of the hassles that imports can bring.

Re: Breeding normals?
Thanks for your input.
I wasn't trying to start a controversial thread, just would like everyone's standpoint on it...
I think there is a huge demand for normals, and without them we wouldn't be here today.
But, i see literally hundreds of BPs in need to rescuing a year...

No controversy at all.. I also hate to see them up for adoption. I think however that is due to their relativity inexpensive Pet-Store price. They are cute little impulse buys for many people and when folks figure out they don't just go belly up like a Gold fish after a year or two or die in their sleep like the Pet hamster then pet loose interest and have to get rid of them..
Want to cut down on that if pet stores would stop selling them for 35.00 and ask 100.00 for one you'd see far less of that I'm sure.

When I volunteer I notice we have a lot of normals, and I don't even think we have a different morph other than a normal. When the Texas Seizure reptiles came in, there were definitely more than 20 normals in the truck.
During Fall, I may be breeding my normals, but I will only sell to those who I know will take good care of them. I'm picky about where my BPs are going, and I plan to only be a small breeder so it's not like I'm going to sell to just anyone. I don't want one of my babies going to a home where they will be mistreated, put on CL, or be killed from poor husbandry. Just my input.

Well than looking at it this way I think everyone should also stop breeding their single dom and co dom male to normal females as well 
What's next? When Pastels will be in every pet store and on Craigslist should people also stop to breed those 
This is a great hobby and breeding whether it is a high end morph to a normal or a normal to a normal is a great rewarding experience and I don't see why people should refrain from doing it because someone is bothered by it.
Everyone should be entitled to breed what THEY want.
