slightly off topic and not having a go at anyone but......
i have been interested in snakes for a long time and my dad kept diamonds before the licensing started.

it scares me and frustrates me taht as soon as someone gets a snake they just want to breed it.

i only have two snakes and i have only had them for a week.
i researched for about year before getting one and now am addicted like most reptile keepers.

i would love to eventually breed snaked and you love to breed some special bredli's with LOTS of black but by no means am i going to go out and grab the next bredli i can find and breed it. i understand that it takes time and careful selection.

it just upsets me to see people saying "oh i only have a jungle and a diamond, can i breed them cos it's close to breeding season and i don't ahev any better animals"
if people breed these and there is no market because the are crossed and or ugly animals what will happen to them? it's ok to rehome cute mutt puppies but snakes would be a bit harder.

anyway not having a go at anyone
just something that is contstantly on my mind.
delete it if it's too off topic
