    Talking What do you DO?

    So I've always wondered what some of these breeders actually do as a job? I'm assuming they don't rely on their reptile hobby as a sole source of income. So feel free to say what you breed and what your day job is! I personally breed leopard geckos, pictus geckos, W. hognoses, and ball pythons and I'm a full time college student

    I currently breed crested geckos and ball pythons, but I have a pair of kenyan sand boas and hypo jungle boas I will be pairing in the future. My fulltime choosen profession is software engineering (computer programming).

    I am an assist manager (stepped down from managing my own store recently) for a pizza restaurant. I am also trying to get back into to teaching guitar lessons. But guitar lessons are like breeding snakes, fun for me and supports my hobby, not really a main source of income.

    I'm sort of in the same boat as JustinAskin. Not a breeder yet, but I hope to get into breeding next year.

    For income I work as a project manager for a pharmaceutical company.

    My boyfriend and I currently just breed crested geckos. But we will be breeding gargoyle geckos very soon... and ball pythons after that.
    During the day, I work in an Elementary School (in the Cafeteria) and I also work at a Reptile Rescue and Rehab center, while my boyfriend works for Toyota.

    Well, I am an Application Developer. You could say a breed balls on the side but I don't make one red cent of profit from it. I invest a lot more than I make.
