I'm not really sure what your question is?

Are you expressing a concern about the numbers of ball pythons being produced by captive breeding?

When you compare the several thousand captive bred ball pythons produced each year by private breeders to the hundreds of thousands of wild ball pythons exported out of Africa each year, captive bred ball pythons don't even scratch the surface.

Ball pythons are a very popular pet snake and their popularity increases each year. The demand for them is huge right now (fueled in part by the morphs) and the numbers of private breeders are increasing to meet that demand. In the future if the demand lessens, I am sure the number of private breeders will decrease.

I don't see the ethical dilemma?
