Thinking about this topic more in depth, and thinking about it now that I have many many BP's, makes me appreciate even more those breeders who have invited me into their facility/homes.

But will I do the same when it comes time for me to sell some ball pythons? To be honest, I'm not sure. It will probably depend on the person/circumstance.

The potential loss is made worse by the fact these are animals that we've spent so many hours with and developed a bond with. Stealing my TV...that's easily replaceable...but stealing a snake I've worked so hard to raise/breed? That would be devastating.

That's it, I'm puting in a motion sensor laser system.
