    I would like to get opinions from you all on this. Details are:

    I have a friend who purchased 1 of the females of my 11 BP's. I have kept and fed and cleaned up behind his snake along with my animals ever since he got it mostly due to the fact that he doesn't have his own place yet and his parent won't allow the animal there.
    He does buy the FT rats and they are here in my freezer so it really isn't costing me any more money to keep 1 more animal, just some of my time.
    Once his female is breeding size, he will want to pair her with one of my males. He has made this clear.
    His Female is only 320 grams now so it looks like I will be caring for her for quite a while before this takes place.
    The incubation will happen here as well.

    What do you all think would be fair as a percentage of the eggs to be his vs mine. I want to be fair to him since he did buy the female but I kind of feel like he has this very easy. One time purchase, no work, reap some reward at some point in the future.

    Even though her genes are not in my interests for my wanted projects, they are genes that I would otherwise not have in the collection.
    Honestly, If it were me, I would allow him to keep one visual morph (male or female) of his choosing. The rest I would keep/sell. If I was housing, heating, caring for and feeding (I know you said he buys the f/t rats however still my chore) the animal I would want to get some compensation for it. I think your friend should find that more than fair as if it were not for your generosity, they would not have a snake at all.
