In summary, here are the arguments on either side:
Buy your breeder:
- save time
- cheaper for lower end snakes (at least $200 for 2yrs + initial)
- safer bet if from trusted source: even one you grow, if it breeds might produce only slugs
Grow your breeder:
- for more expensive morphs might save a lot of money by taking the time.
- safer than getting less-than-average snake from untrusted source
- could be hard to find the morph you want to buy
