He sure did.

I'm thoroughly impressed and amazed with many of you who make a (presumably nice) living breeding and selling awesome bps.

Re: Adam/Other successful breeders: How did you start out in the biz?
If he means "Successful Ball Python Business", (meaning someone who makes a living only breeding and selling ball pythons), then I guess many people on this forum may not be able to reply to the thread.
Seems most of the people here are hobbyist breeders (like I), not businesses that sell solely ball pythons. (I realize there are some who are, like Adam)
Personally, I breed tegus and several years ago I started dabbling with ball pythons. Last season I successfully produced my first clutches of ball python hatchlings and successfully sold them. I did this from profit from successfully breeding and selling tegus. So at this point I have normals, pastels, spiders, pied, albinos, yellowbellies, mojave, orange ghosts, etc.. all of which were from money raised breeding and selling the reptiles I keep. In the many years ahead, I plan to keep breeding and selling tegus and ball pythons and use that money to grow and expand. I love what I do, and I consider myself successful at my hobby since my hobby maintains and grows with no strain on my bank account since it's all self supporting.
So really, what is "successful"?

anything else you would like to know?????????
sounds to me like you have a lot of time on your hands.
Do read the TOS Matt...this is a quote from it...

I. An account/ID/member name may not be used jointly by a married couple/involved/commited couple
In other words if your wife wants to post, she needs her own ID here or you need to ask Admin is she's allowed to post for you if for some reason you are unable to type your own words. To do otherwise is as far as I can see confusing to the members here as well as walking a fine line with the TOS.
As far as the smart remark, Matt I have little time on my hands and what I have would not be directed your way. What I do have is a brain between my ears though and when I see posts that are radically different than a person's norm, well I'm going to wonder about that and I'm going to query it. I'd expect the same done to my own posts should anyone question whether they seemed like mine or someone else's due to content or construction. I don't think anyone here is above questions from other members or the TOS.

I would interpert that as sharing ie said husband /wife posting their own remarks or opinions. Having someone type for you while you stand there and dictate ie being a typist, I don't see how that could be breaking the rules.
Just my 2 cents, maybe we can get admin to comment on this since for some unknown reason it has become an issue
Hello out there admin?
