I got it to breeding for one reason: To produce the pied I could not afford to buy.

Of course, now I could buy it if I wanted to, but there is a certain satisfaction in producing my own. My collection has expanded from two snakes to 32, and my plans from producing a pied to producing all kinds of pretty things along the way to producing many different pied combos.

I enjoy it. It is a full time job, just to warn you. The biggest thing is to go slowly, and not get in over your head. I know many, many people who jump in blindly, buy a fortune in snakes, then when faced with the reality of the hard work, food strikes, health problems, breeding issues, and so on, they get out as fast as they got in, usually thousands of dollars poorer.

So yes, do think about breeding. But take your time, find out what base morphs you like and what combos they make. Invest in a few to start with, then as you learn and grow, you can expand.
