If it wasn't for the money, I sure wouldn't have as many ball pythons as I do. I would still have a few though, because I love them.

Hi,

I chose the pet option, the creating new morphs option, and the breed and make money option. I love my ball pythons and view them as my pets and I'm very excited about producing morphs and possibly some new crosses. At the same time, although I'm not in it for the money, I do hope to make enough money to support my ball python addiction :-p

I chose all but "breed to make money" because I know in the end, unless I decide to go full time with this and invest a lot more money than I have right now, the best I can really hope for is to break even. Which I'm fine with! The joy of owning and breeding these awesome animals is worth more than any amount of money to me
Just my .02 lol.

I got my first snake because I was afraid of snakes and I wanted to conquer that fear. It didn't take long for me to see just how amazing these animals are. Now my only fear is running out of space to keep them all.

I got into snakes thinking it would just be a pet. After getting exposed to all the morphs and the concept of designer combos I got hooked. The prospect of being able to select my breeding stock and produce combos was something that really appealed to me. I like the complexity of all the genetics; the patience required in raising the animals and all the husbandry tweaking along the way as I became a better and more knowledgable keeper.

The whole experience has been great as well as a lot of work so far.

I think my favorite thing of all is raising a snake. Watching it grow from this tiny creature and seeing how the coloration and pattern progresses with age.
