I didnt know where to put this... selfish or not? (Long Post)

Soord - how old are you?

No you were not being selfish but you're not acting like an adult either. You are a new member and new to snakes? Why not give it a while and save up some money and slowly dip your feet into the hobby to warm them up... I think there is A LOT more to breeding and learning morphs ect. and you have a lot to learn. I think the very experienced breeders maybe make a little bit of money or if you produce a new morph you might get a big payout but I don't think every breeder is getting rich. Sounds like the both of you didn't really know the subject matter you were arguing about very well.

If someone needs money for a medical purpose I am okay with that or maybe for a sports field trip or girl guides, food... things along those lines but the people who are out there asking people to fund them for new pets, trips, cars....that's super lame in my opinion...get a job!

This is a little more egotistical than i wanted. I am 24 and i have a full time job, pay my own bills, file my own taxes, own my own stock, contribute to a 401k, pay for my own car and insurance, and have a boatload of student debt just like many of us here (sans the student debt maybe). I got my first snake about 2 years ago so i am fairly new and have a lot to learn, I understand that, but i would appreciate if you didnt act like i was a child. I have a plan to get my feet wet, which is why i planned on getting the female now in the first place haha. Females need 2+ years to grow to breeding size and my plan is to give them 3+. I have a couple balls and they will breed the year after next, if i like breeding, great! if i dont? If i get the snakes now I have wonderful pets and two of my favorite morphs (black heads and bananas) as awesome pets.

I guess i dont understand the feet wet thing. Could you explain what you meant a little more?

I also think it would be ridiculous if anyone thinks they will get rich breeding t I dont see a lot of Bugatti's at reptile expos XD I was just saying that breeders can make some semblance of money.

In other news, the person i argued against was an established corn breeder somewhere in the east. Also i could see a medical expense or something but how is a sports field trip or food different? and what is a girl guide?
