First, with dogs, the is not a mutt, she's a purebred, same as the dog - she carries the same genetics he does. Her owners have an investment that compares to the dog's owner.

Second, with dogs, the 's owner has most of the work beforehand and almost always has the litter at her place. WORK, WORK, WORK. With snakes, typically the normal female goes to the owner of the male morph, meaning that person has to house, clean, and feed the snake for six or more months.

Also, dogs have a nearly unlimited capacity to sire litters - not so with our snakes. 7 or 8 girls per year over a limited breeding season is just about it.
