Do you find it hard to say good-bye to your snakes?

Ok, I am considering selling or trading some of my snakes and i’m finding it difficult to let them go. I got most of them as hatchlings and have enjoyed caring for and handling them. All of them have names and fit into the world of Wicked/Wizard of Oz in my mind lol. I’ve grown attached to them and worry about their care and futures in the hands of others. I know breeders do this all the time and other pet owners do too. Do u find it hard? i don't know how to explain it.

I just think I’ll miss their cute scaley puppy faces.

100%. I sold all the hatchlings from my first clutch except one fairly quickly. It took me about a year longer to sell the other one. It had something to do with its feeding habits (or lack thereof) but I grew attached and kept her far longer than I should have. It made it hard to let her go.

Right now I'm struggling with the idea of selling the first snake I ever purchased. He's a normal male ball python so he won't be useful as a breeder and I could really use the extra slot in the rack. I'm really struggling because I don't know if whoever takes him will take care of him like I do. I think I might offer him really cheaply to a good home that already has ball pythons and is knowledgable about their husbandry.
