This is pretty much how I feel too. It's nice when your hobby can help support itself and/or put some money back in your pocket.

No. I would still keep snakes as pets, but I would not breed them. Breeding is much more time consuming than some would think, especially if you raise your own rodents.

I really think the answer to this question will depend on what level of breeding that particular breeder is at. Smaller breeders put in much less time/money that what a larger breeder would do. For the number of snakes I have...I would have no problem doing it for free. If I had several hundred snakes...Forget about it. That would be way to invloved and time consuming to do it as a charity. I'm sure that doesn't mean one of us loves these animals more than the other...It just wouldn't be practcal to do it for free as a bigger breeder.

Ive never bred before, but hopefully will sooner or later. And the reason is definitely not for the money. Im so interested in the genetics, and hopefully being able to create an awesome snake. To think something like the combo of two yellow bellys can create a white snake just fascinates me.

I did breed birds awhile ago, and I definitely spent more of my own money than I made.

Everyone should start out breeding for free, if you can't handle making no profit, get out of it now, because even if you're lucky you won't be seeing lots of $$ for years after you start.

Words of wisdom for most businesses and hobbies.;)

Show

ME

THE

MONEY!!!!!!!



No really, show me the money. :rage:




Oh wait there's no money in this? :tears:

:stupidme:

I am buying nice babies to make me the morphs I can't really afford, or at least I hope too! I'm doing it for the self satisfaction! I know I will sell some of my babies! But, don't know if it will ever be a big profit maker!

I did it for the money at one time. Now I just do it for the fun of it, the love of snakes and for the feeling you get every time one hatchs out. If I get lucky I can tread off or make a little money to buy the next snake on my list of wants.
