Oh okay, it's pretty common in the herp trade to buy and sell animals. Personally I want to keep them for their life whether I buy a baby or adult. I have 3 at the moment with plans for a 4th, of those 3 will be babies and 1 an adult. I personally chose animals I want to keep over time. Like you a ball python was my first snake, he would be the last one I'd sell if I was forced to. Beyond that it's a personal choice, some people refuse to sell them while others it's common to switch collections after a few years. Most people don't have the time, space and resources to keep a large collection and must sell most to buy different species. It's up to you, if you're selling it to someone you're confident will provide a really good home for them then it would help then a random stranger. If you're like me that would make you question in the back of your mind did I really give him to a good home. If the reptile is going to a good home then it's really just personal attachment, some will sell a snake and then regret it later but it's very personal.
