Whether this dude is breeding those snakes (which are some unbelievable looking creatures!) for money or for fun or because his ex-wife was a blue eyed blonde and his breeding these snakes represents some twisted obsession with all things blue eyed and blonde; he does it for his own reasons, for himself. Is it a good thing that he stepped in and brought these animals into the pet trade before the went extinct in the wild? Sure it is. But again this species will now only benefit the pet trade as it can never be returned to the wild. It's great we still have an example of an animal that is extinct in the wild to look at but it does nature no good. The human motivation to save species is strictly a selfish one also but that's another debate, for now it's good enough to simply acknowledge that we breed animals in captivity for our own purposes, whether that pupose is profit or not.
