It doesn't bother me. If you think about it, even if you breed a pastel to a normal, you may only get 1 pastel and 6 normals. This isn't helping to reduce normals at all. Normal males are pretty much worthless to breeders, but for people who want a pet ball python-there will always be plenty of those people-they don't care if it's a normal male or female.
What bothers me is that shelters won't let breeders adopt ball pythons. I've been blacklisted from the shelter in my area because I let it slip that I was a breeder.![]()
