    I am quite new to keeping snakes. But for me it is about enjoying the snakes. Whether it be for breeding, selling or just be satisfied with few snakes. my goal in this hobby is to breed some beautiful morphs

    On some level I really love species diversity, but it's led me to having a lot of 'singles' without partners for future breeding. I don't really want to breed everything anyway, so it's not that much of a problem. I find that it's pretty easy to keep some leopard geckos, hognose, and the ball pythons in the same area since they have fairly similar warm ambient temp requirements. I don't have too much of a problem with keeping the ball pythons at a higher humidity than the others since they're in a rack on cypress mulch.

    I am very focused on ball pythons, but I also have a couple other species that I enjoy keeping and would like to try breeding someday. I really do love arboreal pythons and boas and I would love to get more! But on the other hand, the handleability of ball pythons keeps me coming back they are just sweet hearts and their colors are amazing!

    I enjoy collecting different species or snakes vs. multiple of the same kind. I like to see the differences in appearance and personality. I currently own two ball pythons, a Mojave and a normal. They are the only pair I have (both male), I like having the contrast to show people when they come over, and I plan on getting a normal red tail to do the same. I constantly run into new species that I want to add to my collection.. I don't know if I could settle on just one

    I only own two normal balls, but that's simply because of my parents and money constraints. That's about to change though, and instead of numerous ball python morphs, I see macklot's, blood, and carpet pythons, as well as red tailed and viper boas in my future. I do plan on breeding some, including my balls, but only normals. I find myself simply wanting to play naturalist boid zookeeper as opposed to a balling businessman.

    Re: Which is better? Different morphs of 1 species or collecting multiple species?

    Great thread.

    My collection has grown on a diverse scale and I couldn't be happier(except if I had more snakes). It has made me appreciate different types of snakes and gain experiences that others may not have. My sig has my list which will become more diverse as it grows with a couple different boas and pythons I would like to add. I know later on I would like to attempt breeding but I will get a specific pair for a project and it will be for pleasure and not profit.
