Ah, gotcha. I wanted to be sure that I'd be able to produce a good variety of morphs in two or three years which was why I wanted to get a few more rather than just one or two. I've been keeping snakes for years, so I'm already in love with the hobby so I'm not worried about getting burned out as much as losing out by not getting certain morphs sooner rather than latter, but I completely understand what you mean about being careful to not get burned out.
