Regardless of how others feel about it you will have to grapple with it in your own mind. You are the one raising these reptiles and you should weigh it in your own way and decide if you will proceed or not on the breeding level. The controversy will remain either way. No one should sway you in your decision if you plan to go forward on the same token you should not let any one tell you it's ok if you don't think it is. Just my .02 cents. Good luck whichever way you decide to go.
