    Like others, I think where you are and who is doing most of the posting here is biasing your perception by a lot.

    Yes, more people are into breeding BP now than there used to be - there are more morphs and more availability than there used to be. There are also more people keeping BP as pets as CBB snakes became available and the price of single gene morphs and normals dropped. People breeding have more to talk ABOUT, so they post more here.

    I don't breed. I have ZERO interest in breeding because it's expensive, difficult, and I really don't care about paint-jobs - and for me, as a pet owner, the color and pattern aren't important; they don't change the quality of PET the snake makes.

    A lot of the people here (like me), come in, get the basic husbandry information that is useful regardless. We come in, we get that information, we learn the basics. Some people get bitten by 'the bug' and want to breed. Some people (again like me) then kick back and are content to answer the odd basic question, offer our insight occasionally, but mostly just read or wander away again, because. They're snakes. They aren't complicated creatures and their needs are simple. If you're not getting into breeding and trying to figure that out, once your snake is set up there's not a whole lot OUTSIDE of breeding to contemplate, unless you're facing a health issue.

    So, yeah, most of the talking going on is breeding related. I mean... honestly, what can I say about my snakes? I have a whole three. I like them a LOT, the BP and the King. They've been set up for 1-2-3 months and feeding regularly and well since I got them. They're neat! I take them outside sometimes. I handle them a lot. I enjoy their personalities. It's fun to watch them grow and mature. I enjoy letting them hang out with me on the computer or while I watch TV at night. I take more pictures than is probably smart. I share some of those pictures.

    But there ain't a whole lot for me, as a pet owner, to be posting about here. It's not like we're doing agility classes or they won't stop barking
