I don't doubt one bit that that is possible. there's plenty of people that make a comfortable living by breeding and selling reptiles...but this guy makes it seem like it's an over night quick buck thing.

If everyone buys this with the impression that they'll become millionaires, then they better be prepared for a big upset. This is one business that takes money to make money...and a lot of it.

im not so much worried about people loosing money over this gold rush article thing, beecause that is their own silly mistake for believing it, but i am worried that if non-herpers see this, and decide to try it out, that the snakes will not be in a good situation (as in the article makes everything sound so easy, and they probably dont know about the husbandry care that is involved).

Such as Adam.. LOL

I saw the ad for it in Reptile magazine. If it was "how to market your ball python business" etc. then it might not be so ridiculous, but "MAKE MILLIONS" takes away his credibility and places him in the 2 AM infomercial category, in my opinion.

that's exactly what i was going to post :rofl: you beat me to it!

Gee i guess we will have tons of newbies comming here asking about the REAL info once that crap fails for them.I am sure we will have some come here and try to "correct" us and of course will cause alot of headaches.Not looking forward to it :colbert: :mad:

what bothered me was the way that he said that people with Ph.D's in herpetology didnt know the first thing about starting and operating a business. a Ph.D is more for studying reptiles,not just selling them. IF i decide to change my major to herpetology,i'll use it to study snakes and not to get rich or anything.

LOL!! I want to buy it and read it jsut to make fun of it.

Im sure there are people who have made around a million or 2 fof of REPTILE breeding. Maybe Mike W. from all his exspencive morphs that he has made and gotten.


EDIT- I got to reading more, and he is basicly selling a how to buisness softwear thing for your computer based on reptile breeding. I also didn't see a way to order. I think this is some sort of scam. Wierd!

i'd like to see the books on anyone that has made 6 digits plus with reptiles. i bet that have invested a whole lot more in to make that 6 digits? it's not the gross income it's the net that counts...
