I've never bred anything before, and I would like to know that I 1) am actually able to make it happen, and 2) really want to put up with breeding snakes instead of just keeping them as pets.
I would love to work with morphs in the future (like I said, I'm a big fan of the pastels, super pastels, and albinos). I would kind of like to see what happens with the prices though over the next couple of years anyways. It bothers me sometimes that snakes can cost so much money.
Also, I love snakes, but I'm going to be attending college next year (while staying home), and I don't want to get in over my head with tons of snakes to take care of right away, so when I do get into morphs, I'd rather do it the simplest (and probably most expensive) way. For instance, if I want to breed pastels and super pastels, I would probably most like to buy a pair of pastels. Same with albinos. If I want to breed albinos and het albinos (which would be my goal) I would rather just buy an albino and het albino to breed in the first place. But then again, I don't really know much about genetics and breeding, but I don't really have space either for too many snakes. I would prefer to keep them in cages than racks, because I would consider them (referring to the breeders with this, not the offspring) as being pets, not just business partners.
So basically, before going to far out there and spending a ton of money on snakes, I would rather just start with the idea in my head that the snakes are my pets, and breeding is just something to try when they are old enough.

Well, that's basically the same for me - -ryan-, Sat Apr 1 16:30:51 2006
