I can only speak for myself as I'm not a "big breeder" but have a very exstensive collection. I consider every single animal in my collection as a pet. They are given the upmost care and all are handled on a regular basis. This includes my first dragon/BP to the ones I do breed to the babies I hatch every year. I consider them all my pets and are cared for as if I were keeping everyone of them. The only time they are no longer my pets is when they have found new homes with people that care for them as I did and are now "their pets"(and even then I still like hearing from their new owners on how they are doing). I care for all my animals and yes I breed and make money but that comes low on my list of things that are important, as the care and quality of life for the animals is #1.
