I do not think you will hear many people on these forums arguing that they are breeding their snakes as a means of providing a captive population that can be reintroduced if the species becomes in danger of extinction. Most do it because they love the way the animals look, and love the act of breeding. It an amazingly fun experiment in genetics! As for saying that WE DO NOT HELP AT ALL... thats going too far. Even though many of the morphs we produce would not survive in the wild, there are tens of thousands of normal ball pythons and normals het for some recessive gene that COULD survive in the wild. I do not see where you are going with this...
