Angolan or Ball Python

[MMReptiles]

I thought breeders try and make money off their sales? And that they buy new morphs just so they can combine them with other morphs that they will then sell? Maybe I'm putting too much thought into this...

Doesn't mean it's right, the fact so much of this hobby is driven based off money and profiting from animals is disgusting.

Every snake that I purchase, is an investment. Apparently I'm going about my business the wrong way

Maybe you should fill us in on how it "should" be done.

You are. Perhaps you should start keeping animals you enjoy, the morphs you enjoy, because you enjoy them, not because they will net you the most return. Passion should come first, not your wallet. The sooner this hobby realizes this- the better.

I only buy and own my snakes to make money so i see all purchases as an investment.

OP: bumblebees are pretty common nowadays. I'd go with an angolan!

Again, this is why it's disgusting and sad that this is what the hobby has become. I go to reptile expos to talk and chat with fellow reptile enthusiasts and breeders, not investors and bankers. I'd buy from someone who put passion and care and effort into their animals over someone trying to squeeze in a couple extra dollars. Get a real job
