Would they have the same temperaments?
In terms of size and morphs, we already have retics that come in multiple shades and sizes, and most people hesitate to get a snake that big, let alone a large collection of snakes that big. I think temperament would figure into it quite a bit - do they become more outgoing because they're bigger, or maintain they're rock-like tudes?
The other thing you have to consider is feeding them! It's easy to keep a bunch of food on hand for BPs, but would people keep large collections if they had to feed a bunch of snakes large rabbits or pigs every week?
I could probably still keep them if they reached the size of a boa (which would be awesome by the way, seeing some of those patterns in a snake that size), but my collection plans would shrink significantly based purely on cost and space.
