I never said I couldn't afford my Blood when she gets to her full potential. I did say things were getting pricey food wise, which they were, so I wanted to lower the food bill and have less animals due to getting into Ball pythons more. I breed my own rats so I raise them to feed off to my other Ball pythons when I have no hatchlings.
I already have a large boa and don't want anymore large snakes in my home for now. I have been downsizing my collection slowly for quite some time (a lot quicker now than before) as I had 17 snakes at one point. I didn't want much variety as I did a while back. The only snakes I have now are Ball pythons with two Carpets, two Kings, and a boa which I am using to breed.
I do not feel attacked and see your view on my thread. I understand how some people dislike hybrids and respect that, but I am one who enjoys them and wanted to do produce only one clutch. I am not irresponsible enough to sell them without papers to people who don't know what they are dealing with. I was going to keep them as long as possible until I found the right home for them.
Since these are two completely different species, I find it highly unlikely that they had locked when I wasn't looking because the male just was not having it in him. It can take lots of time for two different species to court. The longest he was with her was for ~2 days.
I didn't realize how out of hand this would get after asking one small question about pairing. I mean, 15 pages and over 4K views...
Although I do understand that just anyone can post their opinion.
