    I've never had much desire to breed. I see how most people keep their animals and for how long, that's a big deciding factor as snakes are very long lived and can have large clutches, ethics, I'm not going to sell to anyone I wouldn't trust with my own snakes, it's a pretty short list. The second reason is hassle/expense vs simply buying what I want. Buying all the cages and equipment and snakes to eventually reach my goal in 5-10 years if all goes well and dealing with everything that goes into breeding and selling, idk seems like a ton of stuff I don't want to do at all. Someone else is already doing it so why not let them? I've never been much of a diy'er type though. I got all my snakes by 30 for the same reason as you Sky and it's also why I don't have turtles although I love them. I worry too much lol.
