My first reaction to your question, why is it that so many new keepers get hot on breeding...well the peer pressure isn't great. =)

I mean, look at this place...no offense, but the vast majority of people who are wonderful and beloved regulars on b-p.net are breeders, from big-time, big name breeders to future and hobbyist breeders and everything in between. We talk about and worship plastic tubs, racking systems, breeding plans, what should morphs I should start my colony with, etc.

I sometimes feel like an outcast since I am resolutely a pet owner who keeps snakes in display vivariums. (no worries - you ain't gettin' rid of me that easily) =D

Anywho, "should I breed?" easily is an early question a new BP or any species snake keeper will ask themselves since most snake forums (I certainly don't want to single out this place =D) since so many people engage in some level of breeding.


So...pet owners unite! Have you hugged your pet snake today?!
