I think this is an excellent post, although maybe a lot of people are either not understanding or missing the point.

The way I read the original post is not that Jon expects to be producing over 1000 different combos any time soon, just that those possibilities are now open to him. The cool part is he gets to pick and choose which ones he'd rather shoot for.

In fact, with his comments about the future and the addictiveness of BPs, I thought part of his point is that it WILL take a long time. No matter how many possibilities there are, if you can "collect them all" within a short time, it gets boring.

I have 6 genes in my collection, 7 if you count normal, and 8 if you count my phet. But basically I can make "only" 63 combos. That number sounds small compared to Jon's 1000, but I know it will keep me busy for YEARS even if I don't add any new genes into the mix. I think that is a GOOD thing.

Plus we have 4 different corn snake genes, and 2 different phets there.

Yeah, I don't see me losing interest in this hobby any time soon.
