    If someone wants a (no idea if it's even real) Banana Clown, and already has half of the pair, theyll go out and buy the other half, then breed (let's assume clutch of 6), then pick the baby they want to keep. That process has now resulted in six unwanted snakes. What happens to them? Where do all these extra snakes go?
    IMHO, there's already more than enough BPs being produced...I'd urge you NOT to breed them in the first place, as the number of good homes is not infinite, & as we all
    feel the financial effects of climate change, there will be even fewer. Not to be "Debby Downer" about this, but people love dogs, & yet shelters have to euthanize them
    by the thousands...do you want the same for snakes? I don't.

    If you want a fancy morph BP, it is FAR easier & FAR less expensive (in the long run) to just go to MorphMarket, an expo, or someone already established as a responsible
    breeder and find exactly what you want without the need for all the collateral damage. And better yet, why not work with a rare species in the first place?
