I think that selective breeding should be stressed to up and coming people in the reptile buisness. Its so easy when your starting out to look at all the lower end color morphs that are way cheaper than a prime example of the morph and just jump in so to speak. I clean cages for someone and its amazing how many snakes I see and how snakes such as a really nice pastel in a bunch of lets say 10 makes me stare for like 10 seconds or have to hold it just a bit and look it over.
For someone like me just starting out selective breeding is a must and I look forward to breeding some top of the line animals. one thing I am slowly learning is patience and its killing me though lol.
