I'd say a big breeder has a little bit of all of those qualities you listed.

To me, big breeders are those that first come to mind when thinking about a purchase. They have produced for some time and usually have several bloodlines of the animals.

I don't pay much attention to morphs, but as far as good locality boas go, Cutting edge and Rio bravo come to mind as the "big breeders". I would hit them up first for something. For other snakes, Bob Clark, Casey Lasik, Jason Nelson, and Yasser all come to mind. Quality certainly has something to do with it as well, big breeders often have higher quality breeders than some of the other breeders out there, more diversity and better colors.
