    Re: Are your Balls for breeding?

    I voted other. First, I dont have any bp's yet, but I am in the process of getting some. I will breed them to get what I really want (a piebald), but the parents will still be considered pets to me (and I wont sell them). I currently own two corn snakes, both males. They are my pets. Do I ever plan on breeding them.. dont know. Only time and circumstance will tell.

    Re: Are your Balls for breeding?

    I'm a sophmore in college right now and i have two normals and i started paying for my caramel albino which should come in two months hopefully. I love them as pets and i don't know if i would breed them or not i haven't really read about it and idk how hard it is to do but i plan on getting others...mojave, pastel, pied, and an albino. throughout the next couple years so if i ever do decide to breed them i think i'll have a pretty good line up

    That is my thoughts on the subject as well. I wanted a Bumblebee, but couldn't afford to shell out that kind of cash, so i am just making my own! .

    I can then sell some snakes to add new types of morphs to my collection, or trade snakes i have produced with other breeders for others i don't have yet. Even just selling the odd hatchling to start out to cover mouse food cost would be cool.

    Re: Are your Balls for breeding?

    We have one normal male BP and one normal male KSB. So, as far as I know, they can't breed.

    Seriously though, maybe in 10 years, one of our sons (now 6 and 3) will try breeding b/c Ryan (the 6 yr old) wants an albino. But for now, strictly pets.

    Re: Are your Balls for breeding?

    We got our first royal after falling in love with one at the pet store. We didn't buy it, but came home and did our research and then several months later began purchasing our snakes from breeders.
    I will breed our snakes (and I chose the specific morphs with breeding in mind) and some people here know the reason why I will choose to breed royal pythons, beginning next season. That said, it doesn't make these snakes any less respected as my relations; that would be ridiculous
    I will not breed my boas because I do not believe there is a market for them in central Oregon and I am not looking to ship.

    Re: Are your Balls for breeding?

    In the future, I would LOVE to make my own morphs. I wanna make a sick ass one but it'll be about 3-4 years before I start breeding pythons.

    Plus I have to get my g/f's approval.
