I call certain snakes my "pets" and others my "breeders".

I did not intend to get my biggest BP girl for breeding when I first got her, so she is my breeder and my pet. The others are mostly just breeders since I'm not just owning them for the fun of owning snakes.

The Kenyan Sand boas I get will be my breeders, not pets.

My Dumeril's boa is my pet, but will be my breeder, but she was bought for breeding.

It's a little bit confusing, and they are all my pets, but most of them I would just consider breeders since that is their purpose for me having them.
