Business is business. If you breed snakes as your business then you need to get them breeding.

Pets are a different matter. I'm pretty sure cows and goats and ducks and chickens live longer on their own than the ones who are born into the "food" lines that those scumbags out there are breeding so folks can eat.

It may not be NICE, but making baby snakes as soon as you can, if that's what you're doing to make a living, is part of the business.
