It's not that you offended us. I don't think anyone here is offended. But you did send up a few red flags that are concerning to those of us who have a lot more experience. We point these things out to you, not to belittle you or criticize, but because we are concerned for you!
Breeding is NOT for everyone. There is a huge amount of responsibility involved. The fact that you mentioned you wanted to breed this snake in the coming year, yet did not know what to do when the snake snapped, when he didn't eat, or that his cage smells, suggests that you lack a lot of experience. My apologies if I'm drawing the wrong conclusions here.
You flat out state:You need to be patient and get more experience with just this sort of "stuff" before you consider breeding. I apologize for being blunt, but these are just the sorts of things you do need to know......I'm just not very experienced with this stuff.
Be mature and responsible about this situation: you got a very nice lesser as a b'day present. Be happy! Grow him out yourself - it'll be more satisfying anyway. $200 is a great price for a nice lesser even if it is a hatchling - they usually go for 250-300.
You didn't offend us. We are not trying to offend you. We only want to help you!
