I know exactly where you are coming from, but until you really start to try and breed snakes a lot of people do not realize what it costs and all the personal time involved. As long as they are going in with their eyes open all is good. Too often I see new people coming on that want a specific morph and plan to breed for it which is a great learning experience, but ultimately they don't add up the true price tag and I think a lot of them drop out of the hobby cause they get discouraged by taking the long road and realize they are spending more!
