I'd like to add...my main interest in snakes can easily be said in one word, genetics.
I like working with unknown genetics...and of course producing multi-recessive traits in one snake is just fun.
My Grandfather was into orchids, my Dad was into birds and succulents...snakes are just more fun.
Why? Because it's cool! To be one of the few to do something for the first or second time has some reward.
If everyone is making X...then I'll go make Y...but not for money, I have to be interested in it. It must be challenging, fun, and almost cutting edge to keep my interest.
Will I make some money to pay for the cost of keeping them...surely.
But, I'd rather give stuff away to people that I know will care for the snakes correctly... then sell it for a 100 bucks, to some ignorant person and have it die.
