I have talked to many breeders from coulubrids to boas to pythons and more. For the most part when breeding comes up most but not all of the boa breeders are real stingy of the info the'll pass on. I even notice it on here alot when some one has a breeding question i always see look it up in the old archives or use the search button. I've tried useing the search button and that thing sucks IMHO , I can never find what i'm looking for. I feel that boa breeding started as a love with all but for some big and small breeders it has turned to money. When you can get more money from a litter of boas than most people do at a normal job then money has a defenite say in it. Theres nothing wrong with it if you have the passion. I mean who here wouldn't like to own a succesful reptile shop? I would thats my dream some day but like everyone else you have to start small and work your way up. To answer the question i would say both for the most part. Besides breeding keeps the wild population wild , but thats another entire subject. Paul
