I can only speak to my own experience, and I am a bit of an exception sense I am a person that speaks like that about other pets
I’ve looked into being an animal breeder in my future before (Dogs specifically) and have worked in many a breeding kennel. Me and my friends talk a lot about what our animals babies would look like, although we don’t ever actually breed them because there are already lots of mixed breeds without homes and if rather not add to that lol
So with snakes I naturally gravitated to breeding as well, but if I had to guess I’d think more people go for it because not the ease of care for the babies is typically a lot less then that for a dog or cat and the genetics with snakes are far more interesting then with mammals.
The way snakes mix to make such crazy and beautiful combos is absolutely beautiful, whereas with something like a dog the outcome is very predictable. Some mixed breeds you can get something different but that’s not what people who purposefully breed go for. And while breeding dogs is a pretty huge commitment with having to care for the puppies for a long time and then it’s pretty hard to find homes for them. With snakes it is a bit easier to find homes for the babies and it’s not unheard of to keep them all in the end, you for sure couldn’t do that with a litter of pups XD
As I said I can only speak for myself but that’s what first came to mind when I read the question lol It’s the genetics and love for snakes that does it for me
