My first bp was sort of an impulse buy in the fact that it happened within a course of a weekend.

Friday I decided I wanted one, saturday i researched snakes and husbandry, and sunday I bought my first bp.

I like many others was hooked; not on breeding, but rather owning more. Reptiles were very new to me and I just became completely absorbed with the vast amounts of information to take in. The genetics, colors, patterns, the prospect of creating your own combo morph, watching the snakes grow; it all became very rewarding and one of my few passions.

Did I always know I wanted to breed?

Not from the get go but soon after I knew it was something I had to try at least once. So I picked up VPIs book and I continued my quest for knowledge on bps.

While I will have some girls ready for breeding next year I'm still not sure if I'm going to. I still want to make sure that I'm financially ready for the expenses associated with breeding. Along with the time commitment it will take to make sure eggs, hatchlings, etc. are taken care of properly.

I'm in no rush to breed yet at the same time I can't wait for the first pastel I ever see pip out of an egg. I've waited 4 years to breed and I just want to make sure that when I decide to do it that its done the right way.
