When I began to build my collection I wanted both pets and potential breeders. Now that I have 21 pyros, that part of my collection is complete. Next year I expect more pyro babies from my adults. I likely wont be buying any more pyros for the foreseeable future. I have two pairs of gopher snakes and one big girl by herself, and the pair of bull snakes, with babies expected from the bulls so don't think I will buy any more pits either for awhile.



I think my situation with my pet snakes is pretty representative of the general hobbyist market consumer. We get our babies, they grow up and begin to reproduce, and the desire to keep on buying more snakes changes over to needing to buy more equipment! LOL! Its sort of like the California Gold Rush; first people came for the gold, then clever entrepreneurs came to sell stuff to the miners.
