I'm not against hobby breeding but don't just breed and dump these creatures!

If you really want to breed then buy a juvenile female and raise her for at least 3 years. If you still have the passion to breed, then go for it.
We have 10 snakes. We lined them up for future breeding if that’s what we wanted to do in the future. The reason we have those numbers is because we got tired of not being able to handle a snake every night. Feeding, newness etc. Are handling knowledge has grown tremendously in a short period of time. Our snakes are very socialized and would definitely blow some people’s minds.

They are also neonates which we enjoy.

I agree. There’s no reason to buy a bunch of breeder snakes right off the bat! No money in it til later on. We did our home work and spent to much keeping these littles ones happy and healthy! We will probably breed later on, but we are pet owners first and love them all.
