So I haven't really looked into breeding much as I'm getting a young female and getting a setup ready that is really just for one snake, but I'm curious...do you have to own a male and a female to breed? Or can you own and female and use a "stud" snake? I know in other breeding practices (dogs, horses) many owners of females don't own a stud, or do out crosses if they do own one. Is this a common practice in snakes? What about "line breeding" or inbreeding to secure certain traits or colors?
Does anyone breed for temperament, secondary to morphs? Are hatchling normals ever euthed due to lack of demand? Just curious and didn't see these discussed anywhere (yet).
