Not to mention, the animals deserve more respect than that. I see the same thing with dog breeders in my area. What I'm getting at is... If you plan to start breeding snakes, make sure you're doing it for the right reasons. And don't expect to make a living off of it, because it's not an easy thing to do.

I do have to say that having grown up in the dog breeding/serious showing community any dog breeder who is doing it to make a quick buck is considered a glorified puppy mill. All of the rescues/clubs and legitimate breeders that I know do not agree with breeding for profit and those breeders they do agree with do not often make much from a litter if any at all (most puppies go to other breeders for show and the rest normally go to great screened families for the price of vet bills). A good breeder is someone who will Always take the dog back even if it is 12 years old and needs vet care.. none do it for the money, and none want to see their dogs go to a pound. This is not to say that I dislike people who have accidental litters.. I do feel that you must have responsibility for any animal you choose to bring into this world (and I do not have anything against big time snake breeders)... If you have purposefully bred an animal make sure its offspring are cared for, with that said you can't always take in every variable.
