The motivation to breed should be out of a love for these animals and their extraordinary potential to create beautiful animals.

Nonsense.

That may be all well and good for yo, but don't you think it rather narrow minded of you to force your point of view on everyone else?

Personally, I don't love my snakes. I don't think I ever have. I like em and I'm quite fond of a few, but love isn't even close.

From what you, and some others have said, perhaps not meaning to, I'm doing this for all the wrong reasons. Frankly I laugh out loud at your arrogance.

So many forget, when they get up on that soap box, that what they're espousing is an OPINION. Opinions are points of view. Points of view are a way of seeing something. A way of seeing something is generally not found existing alone. There is almost always more than one, often many more than one, way of seeing the same information and arriving at differing conclusions with none being more valid or valuable, nor enforceable for that matter, than any other.

If someone wants to breed ten thousand normals a year, so long as the animals are properly kept, what business is it of anyone else's?

I kinda get tired of folks who think they're 'better than' simply because of a point of view, an opinion, of no more inherent validity than ANY OTHER opinion out there.
