How Much Have You Spent?

I spent around 10 grand, 9 grand for my wifes new master bathroom i had to give her so that i could get my two snakes.:)

With buying and selling balls, and building a snake rack that I sold, I'm in the positive side. Every time I want to spend money on them I make sure it comes from the same funding.

My friend and I have spent about $950 on snakes so far. We plan to find business investors this summer and spend about $5000 this year.

I feel ya..

When I first got started 5 years ago I had 6 snakes in our office. I was slowly working toward breeding at this point.

Well the ole wifie came and put the ole kibosh on it..her words were before you get another snake you have to renovate the two storage rooms out side to keep them in. :O pfft OK

So we did and now I don't worry about getting new snakes they come in she likes the pretty ones and they go in the snake room. Pretty easy..

Now the rats that's different we had to move them for my sanity. Now we have the rat barn.

I've spent probably in the area of 2 grand, food and supply costs get difficult for me to factor in.

Well just on animals alone (not counting money from animals I've sold) I spent around 12k. With racks and equipment prob another 5k still not including feeders. Lol I enjoy the addiction and the hobby all well worth it :gj:

I believe somewhere around 30,000ish. I would sit and count it up but I don't want to depress myself :O

Ok, now this is not fair. I am older and well, there are soooo many ways to look at this.
What I have spent on animals in my life time. Hard to tell, Lots and lots. What I have spent this year, much easier to tell. But I turned into a business I love, and am proud to boost about. People outside of our circles think I am nuts. People in this world think it is cool. It is our family's full time job. No outside jobs help support us only this, so I take it very seriously.
So when you say what have you spent on animals only not the extras. 28 years, hard to tell. Has it paid off, yes in lots of ways. Friends like you all. Beautiful animals, time well spent.
Do what you love and you will love your life.

Very well said! I quit corporate America to start my own business working with animals and life is what it should be now!!
