Wow, very informative. Thank you. People find out what I do, as far as keeping them and breeding and right away I get the same questions, "Why on earth would you do that? They are so gross!" or "How can you stand being with them? Eeewww" or "Do you not think its dangerous to have your 5 yr old live in that house with those snakes? Did you not see what happened in Flordia??" (yeah I LOVE that one) all of these I am able to answer or can give them a little, "in your face" reply. lol However, when someone tells me, "They sell morphs so cheap at Expos, too many people are breeding, it will be like breeding dogs and cats in a few years. No one will pay good money for them. the price will drop, you will lose all your investment,etc." Well, thats when I don't know what to say.

Thank you for your information. Very knowledgeable!
