So, I pick the ones I really want to work with.
Also some are very close. Such as mojaves, lesser platinums, and butters. There will be plenty folks on the forum to disagrre with me here, but of the 3 listed I chose to work with lesser platinums. There's plenty of times that I wish I had a mojave project going on ,but I know that I can't work with every thing available.
I got my first BP(female albino) in 2003 and you already have as many BP's as me. Hope this helps!
I don't really want to work with all the different morphs, in fact there are some I never want to work with, but there are some morphs I want to add to my collection. I probably could have cut down on the number of snakes I had if I had bought bumble bees and pewters instead of cinnies, pastels and spiders, but I think it will be worth it when I see my first pewter or bee hatch.

He lost his job a couple months back and now breeding and doing reptile education for students is his job.
Yeah, it is a lot of work caring for them all, but even with all my reptiles my dog still takes up more of my time.

I'm not saying I love cleaning cages, but I love how much work I have to put into my reptiles. To me it's worth it in the end to be able to show off some well cared for reptiles. I think it's obvious when people love and care for their pets and I hope people notice it when they see mine.

I think I may have started worrying about nothing. All of my doubting start coming about yesterday when I noticed my large normal chilling out in her water dish. I thought she looked a little dark in some of the pictures I took, but when I looked at her it seemed like I missed the blue stage of shedding. Her belly was super dull and she was extremely dark. When I got home tonight though I realized that she was just entering the blue stage, so I really was start to doubt myself over nothing. The one BP that always takes me by surprise when she sheds is my pyb and that's because I only check on her, clean her tub and feed her. After her 2.5 month hunger strike I've been really worried about doing anything to stress her out and turn her off of food again. She's a 2010 and only about 400g. >__<
