Usually with any business I think the first 3 years you pay out more then you earn.

And then some...Justin and any minors getting involved in caring for and breeding live animals haven't the slightest clue how much it costs. What is going to happen when a snake gets an RI and it takes a $150 vet visit to clear it up. I can guarantee their parents will not pay for it. Kids without a solid job and income should not be getting involved in this. The animals will end up losing. Justin, Andre and others, if you think this is mean, too bad. Reality is harsh and sometimes when people don't get it, you need to shake them a bit until it sinks in.

I agree. Plus, I'm not bad mouthing anyone here. But I think when it comes to breeding anything you need the absolute knowledge of your species you are breeding. Would I breed? maybe in about 10 years at the very least. Creating life and making sure it's healthy to be sold to others is a very tricky thing. I'd say you'd need years of hands on knowledge, not just from what you read from a book. I can read a million books about carpentry. However when it came to hands on, that's a whole other thing.
