Breeding

I see almost everyone breeds there corns. Is it just for resale? Or is it a health benifit? Probably a dumb question!

I breed for the fascination of doing it and the desire that more people should own Corns.

It certainly isn't for the money. I only have two breeding females at the moment and the money I make doesn't cover the costs of keeping the whole group (16 in all) over a year. You need to be breeding Corns in some serious volume before you see any kind of profit. Preferably the less common morphs, as well.

It seems to be an accepted fact that breeding females have shorter lifespans in captivity than those that aren't bred. On the other hand that's still generally longer than their lifespan would be in the wild.

what about a health benefit for the breeder? ya know, like wathcing goldfish swim or petting a dog is supposed to lower your blood pressure?? LOL

OH, and if you'd bring animals you acutally WANT to sell, maybe you'd make some more $$$$$!! HAHAHAHAH
