A question for Rich & other breeders about selling corns - if someday I have some hatchlings to sell, for instance on kingsnake.com classifieds or somewhere, would it be bad manners to list the parents' heritage by breeder, as in:
" '03 Purple Motley hatchlings for sale, mother is '99 Serpenco, father is '01 Love, blah blah blah "
Is that a useful way to provide information, or is that bad manners, & seen as trying to trade on the good name of established breeders?
If people care about genetic diversity when choosing snakes to pair, wouldn't it be useful to list the source of the snakes when possible, whether from a big or small-scale breeder, or is it kind of exploitative?
(It can't be easy being a breeder...every snake you sell means you're competing against your own work, because people can buy & then breed them...I guess the only way to stay ahead is through new projects...?)
-Kimhotep who only has one corn, so unless he decides to split like an amoeba or possibly have a sex change AND immaculate conception, there ain't gonna be no babies!
