How many have you had push past the 6' mark to hit around 8? What you are saying about "puppy mill" style breeding resonates with me. When in the market for carpets, I commonly find full grown coastals in giant rubbermaid tubs. Pretty sad. It is cool that you take your time and invest in your animals and do not see them like a product. I have had many breeders tell me "breeding age" is more about the actual age of the snake than the size. Could you elaborate on that. (perhaps on another thread if this is deemed hijacking).
