you will end up spending more on feed, enclosures, and proper husbandry. Unless you are getting snakes wholesale, you will end up in debt. trust me if it was that easy we would all be doing it.

IMO most kids have too easy these days, It's our fault as parents. I admit I spoiled my kids, my youngest is 19 and has not worked a day in her life, When I was 14 I had 2 part-time jobs.

BTW everyone I have a paper route but thats to small pay for my likings!

id say get a job or start doing odds and ends things for neighbors parents..
my friend is 16 and owns his own lawn care business

as for flip flopping the snakes, that makes me sick. By you saying that you want to do that gives people a bad impression about you. It says your in it for the money and not for the love of the animals. Along with turning around and selling the snakes for profit, you say you want to breed too which is probably also for the money.

Yes, because what I do is contact the guy that wants it and say I have it and say all the info about it and then if he is interested I call the seller up and say I am interested! Little do they no I am really not interested in the animal(s) I just want to sell it FOR MORE!

Daniel

WOW, that is kinda horrible to say.
sounds like your kinda in it for the money.

Breeding is not for the money and you got it all wrong! I am just asking how I can make more money to maintain my collection without going broke. Also I am wanting to make extra money because if I see a snake/reptile I want I don't have to save up for it I can just purchase it.

I swear I am not. It's just a way to make some money. It's basically you going to a sports events and you see scouts selling there tickets for triple the real price. I know there in it for the money but I am for sure not.
