question for all that own 5+ snakes

how do you guys manage to sell all the off spring and also what if all those hatcling dont sell ive seen some of you guys post about 2-3 clurches thats a couple babies to feed there.

i dont plan on breeding i dont see any profit in breeding..im just wondering how you guys do it getting 2-4 clutches sold

All ours come out at leastonce a week unless in shed. We have 6 bps, and a brand new boa! :)

I also just today got a total of 5 snakes now... 1.1b.p and 3 corns we also hold all of them at the least once a week but sometimes more I'm now very partial to my b.ps so unless they just ate or in shed he comes out a few times a week and my kids just adore them all usually begg me to hold " thier own snake lol I'm thinking this is plenty though I just don't want to ever overwhelm myself but like everyone says they are jusst so addictive and just something about em idk.. lol

I have 12 snakes and we handle them all, some more than others. I don't have them just to breed but also because I thoroughly enjoy handling snakes, they are amazing creatures!

I try to Take each of mine out at least a few times a week, don't really have a choice when my son wants to hold one all the time either :)

Yup, we don't handle ours much, either. Usually just for maintenance and educational purposes. We have other pets that enjoy handling a lot more. :gj:

They get handled during maint. Its easier to handle animals alot when you only have a small number but i have a coupke hundred animals at the moment so if i was to devote some pda time to each one i think thats all id be doing.

They aren't that hard to sell most of the time. A lot of us vend at shows and/or sell online. Sometimes you have to hold onto them for awhile, but eventually, pretty much everything always sells. We've never had an issue selling ours.

I have 34 and spend at least an hour with them every day. I probably only handle each snake for a few minutes each week. My picky eaters less.

thanx everyone i just could imagine owning alot of bps and managing to handle all of them so that they are used to people handling them i only have 2 bps so far thats all i plan on having might just add 1 but thats it.

but thanks to all that commented good to hear all those bps arnt just in tubs being part of someone just wanting to have a nice colletion in their tubs or making a quick buck..
