i do not think the OP is saying "do not breed normals because they are worthless" but the sad truth is that normal ball pythons are disposable animals, like all inexpensive pets, and are commonly treated as such. whether we agree with this or not, im sure we've all experienced this attitude in some way and at some point or another.
obviously most of us here do not consider these animals disposable but we are not the majority and all disposables will continue to be mistreated as long as they are cheap and easily acquired.
it would be nice to see these animals less available to impulse buyers and hopefully by doing this we will see less mistreated disposables in need of rescue and a new home. unfortunately this is much easier said than done as simply to stop breeding normals is clearly not an option and agreeing on another option may be close to impossible.
