Breeding Standards

[ladywhipple02]

The day there are standards for mutations is the day I will quit breeding.

I was thinking about this - it's my general opinion, and I'm fairly certain it would be the opinion of most keepers/breeders that I'm aware of. As Eric said, these are living works of art, and I don't know many artists that like to work within set parameters.

Then I started thinking about generations. You here all this talk about millennials and the differences they're bringing to the business world and such - I'm wondering if we'll see a shift in our hobby with a new generation of snake owners and breeders? People more focused on boundaries and parameters, and less focused on the free market?

BTW, I'm a millennial (by two years apparently) so say what you will There's a lot of things I don't like about my generation, but a lot of things I do, too. I don't even know if this is true, but it's something to ponder.
