Why do you breed?

Why do you breed herptiles?

[Thomas]

none of those, I am doing it cause they fascinate me

I don't breed at the moment, but I'm going to for sure. My main reasons are:

1) Great hobby.
2) Great way to make these awesome creatures more available to the public.
3) If I sell to a beginner, I can make SURE that they know everything they need to know, instead of trusting pet stores.
4) Cheap way to expand my collection and reach my goal of 100+ snakes by the this time next year.
5) (Minor one) To see if I can breed for a rare morph/trait and quit my job and just live off my herp hobby. (I'm not holding my breath on that one.)

I haven't yet. My beardeds layed last year and none of the eggs were good. I want to breed because I think its the ultimate reward from keeping herps. You get to see another generation come from what you raised.
