I really think the answer to this question will depend on what level of breeding that particular breeder is at. Smaller breeders put in much less time/money that what a larger breeder would do. For the number of snakes I have...I would have no problem doing it for free. If I had several hundred snakes...Forget about it. That would be way to invloved and time consuming to do it as a charity. I'm sure that doesn't mean one of us loves these animals more than the other...It just wouldn't be practcal to do it for free as a bigger breeder.
