If I let my husband decide what we keep and what we sell, we'd never sell anything. He's a sucker for a baby ANYTHING.

For me, I will hold back whatever I am trying to produce. For example, this season I was trying for pastels and spiders because I wanted to hold back a female pastel and a female spider. Neither of my girls took this season so that was a no-go.

Next season, I'm going to breed for a female pastel, female spider, a male pinstripe, a lemon blast (any sex), and hold back all 50% possible het pied females I produce.

I don't breed to sell. I breed for what I want, and sell what I don't need for future breeding purposes. Of course, if I really like a certain snake's temperament, I'll keep it. This happened with a male normal we rescued. Fell in love with him, so he stays, even though I'll never breed him.
