I have two BPs that are my pets. I did make sure to purchase two fairly decent quality morphs in case I decided that I ever wanted to breed them. That way I wouldn't be adding to the abundance of Normals that are looking for homes.
First and foremost they are my pets though. As tempting as it is for me to want to purchase countless other snakes to one day try to breed them, I will not do so until I have one clutch from the two that I currently own (if I ever actually decide to breed them). If its something that excites me as much as I believe it will then I'll look into adding some more. If it turns out that it's not really my thing then I'll still have my two babies to enjoy as pets who also make some pretty fantastic eye candy.
I do think that people jump in way too fast with this hobby. They get one snake and then before the newness wears off of that one they have purchased 10 more to start breeding before they even begin their research.
