I get what you're saying but I don't think the experience here is what matters. It's one project this guy wants to do. It's one pair of animals.
My issue is people buy adults, breed them, then have no clue how to sell their animals and wonder why it isn't working out.

I don't disagree. I just see it ALL the time with snakes. Not everyone who gets a puppy wants to breed it, or hamsters or most pets for that matter.
It bugs me more with BPs since the market is already ridiculously over saturated. Bloods/STPs seem to be kinda "trendy" right now and are definitely booming in popularity.
But still, I just don't get it. It's not like other hobbies where if you get bored you stop playing with it. These are living creatures. And I've seen way too many Craigslist ads or forum ads for "collection sales" with people getting out of the hobby after only a few years.
I'm not saying OP will fall into that category, but I'm saying I've seen enough start out just like OP and then end up getting out of the hobby and unloading all their animals that they once "loved so much".
