Well the real reason is that too many keepers see snake breeding as a way to MAKE MONEY not for the ponzi scheme that it can be. Red milks are common, easily found in the right areas, and very pretty/variable snakes. The babies are very small and difficult to raise to adulthood. It takes such a long time that the keepers that do dont let the adults go. Babies are "relatively" cheap because they are common, adults are impossible to get. Add to that now they are being "regulated" by the states they are found so breeders are afraid of legal ramifications. There are hundreds of breeders of Honduran milks, less than 10 for most NA ssp.. They arent for beginners, but they are worth working with.
