    I would vote firmly against breeding any animals that are already massively overproduced (such as BPs- especially normal ones but even the fancy ones), because it just doesn't end well for all those cute little offspring- pets that are overproduced, whether cats, dogs or snakes, are devalued (ie. sold cheaply or given away) & when that happens, they often aren't respected & well cared-for- sadly, they're thought of by too many people as "throw-away toys".

    While it might be "natural" for our snakes to reproduce, it's also not essential for their well-being, & may even have negative health consequences. And that's apart from all the extra work of raising offspring- housing them, getting them to feed, & then worrying about where they'll end up.

    If you're wanting & ready for another critter, just get what you want without producing more in the process.
