I have been in this crazy hobby for over 25 yrs,and the main reason that is becouse I love this hobby and the people that want to share there knowlage and the ones that are willing to learn something new.....

This hobby is not about the money!!!.....

If you are breeding snakes trying to make "money" you are in the wrong bussiness....Most of the people that I know in the hobby prefer trading or have very fair prices even on the newer morphs....

Those of us that are more interested in the diversity of morphs,and refining some of our "projects". There are many of us that don't care wat the hatchlings are worth we are doing this becouse we love seeing the hatchling pipping, and growing to healthy adults...I know a few hobbiests that are refining, okeetees,anerys,stripes of all kinds,locality morphs, exc....

I hope more people keep selective breeding and worry more about the care and the health of there snakes than the "dollar".I know the biggest thing that I look at is the health quality of the snake-vs-what it costs.....

I have gotten snakes from Don Soderberg,Kathy Love,Jimmy Johnson,Sean Niland and all of the snakes that I got from them are A quality,all ate from day one,no health issues,and all are very great people to deal with,allways willing to take time and talk with you,even if it is just to talk about snakes and breeding ideas....

If your breeding snakes 4 money,you might as well get out now,I would rather give a kid a snake that I know he/she will care 4 than sell it to some one that as no idea of how to care 4 it..Plus seeing there eyes light up and they start jumping around is what will keep this HOBBY alive, get one hooked,many more will fallow.....LOL
