well, i've only gotten a ball python two weeks ago and i don't plan on breeding at all. i've thought about it but i don't plan on it and since this is all relatively new to me i think i have an idea of why people (myself included) have thought about breeding. i never thought about breeding because of the money i can make, i don't think money ever even came to my head when i thought about it(unless we're talking how much of it we'd need to start breeding).
it's natural human behavior to want MORE. we aren't ever just content with what we have; we're always wanting more. to me, taking care of a ball python is FUN. so wouldn't that mean taking care of more then one ball python be even funner? and here is where breeding comes in.
