Money sources for breeder collections?

I started with a pet, bought some normal breeders later. Expanded with a pastel, yellow belly, mojave set of males. I run ads in the paper, pet stores for the normal babies. Sell to friend the rest and exchange for other morphs. Currently working at getting the cheap pied thats every been hatched. Bought a het male adult for 50$ and hoping to find a good deal for an adult female here soon.

Started with a pair of Pastels and a pair of het Albinos which were QUITE expensive at the time and went from there.

Doh! I noticed that just now.

Cancel that. You can breed with yourself.

Most people will buy snakes first and then try to cobble together something cheap to put them in. This is kind of backwards. If you buy the caging and supplies first, things will go a lot more smoothly. You'll be more organized and weekly cleanings/feedings will be less frustrating and go more quickly.

Well, I had my one snake in a tank when i first got into bp's. I made friends through this wonderful site and they all helped me. I pretty much got my rack and herpstat at the same time. And then i added snakes as i could. Set some goals, and start from there...

I made my own racks and slowly grew my small collection. In hindsight I probably should have bought more normal females, but hay I just wanted my fav mutations bad and thats what I concentrated on.

Well like many of us I gots me a day job!
Though I have been making trades for animals I want with animals I produced.

When I hit the MegaMillions I will probably by myself a Large Ranch, build a seperate Snake facility behind my Mansion and then invite everyone on BP.net to come over and we will begin a Reptile Breeding Cult!
