Jacob, what you are engaging in at the moment is called "rationalization". Also a couple of other really interesting defense mechanisms. You're making the psychology student in me try to peak his head out.
Beyond that, to whatever list you have made out of people with pure bloodlines of Hogs, you can add me to it. When I bought Hog Island boas, I made sure that I went to reliable breeders that could directly trace their stock back to Bob Sears. Bob was the first person to ever import them into the US and he collected his animals directly from the islands and flew them back himself. It's a pretty solid bloodline if you can make sure the animals came from him.
Even if they were $300 a piece, which I think you went against that somewhere in this thread that you seem to be adding to at a pretty maddening pace, it's not a horrible loss. It's an expensive lesson, sure, but make it the lesson worthwhile. You can't just throw money at something and assume it's gonna work out later. Invest some time and thought into what you're doing before you invest the money.
What you do with those snakes is your choice, of course, but I can pretty well tell you that nobody is going to want the babies for anything more than pets, and that's if you're lucky. Getting rid of that litter of snakes is going to be a chore that will probably cost more money than it produces.
