What do you DO?

So I've always wondered what some of these breeders actually do as a job? I'm assuming they don't rely on their reptile hobby as a sole source of income. So feel free to say what you breed and what your day job is! I personally breed leopard geckos, pictus geckos, W. hognoses, and ball pythons and I'm a full time college student :D

I currently breed crested geckos and ball pythons, but I have a pair of kenyan sand boas and hypo jungle boas I will be pairing in the future. My fulltime choosen profession is software engineering (computer programming). :D

Im not a large breeder by any means but i just got my bachelor's degree in architecture and just started a job with an architect.

I am an assist manager (stepped down from managing my own store recently) for a pizza restaurant. I am also trying to get back into to teaching guitar lessons. But guitar lessons are like breeding snakes, fun for me and supports my hobby, not really a main source of income.

I am a Project Coordinator/Estimator, at an Oil & Gas fabrication company working in the engineering department.

I don't bread snakes, YET. I just got into them not to long ago.

I'm sort of in the same boat as JustinAskin. Not a breeder yet, but I hope to get into breeding next year.

For income I work as a project manager for a pharmaceutical company.

My boyfriend and I currently just breed crested geckos. But we will be breeding gargoyle geckos very soon... and ball pythons after that.
During the day, I work in an Elementary School (in the Cafeteria) and I also work at a Reptile Rescue and Rehab center, while my boyfriend works for Toyota.

:banana:

Well, I am an Application Developer. You could say a breed balls on the side but I don't make one red cent of profit from it. I invest a lot more than I make.

I'm a nurse.

I breed ball pythons, and my full time job is a Senior Buyer for NCR.

Ball Pythons and Software Engineer (Computer Programmer.)

i work at one of the biggest liquor and wine stores in the state and go to school full time. i wish i remembered what free time was. lol

Official Title: Test Engineer (for a telecommunications company).
More of a glorified electronics technician with a little test engineering on the side.

Haven't paired yet, been growing my biggest girl up for the past two and a half years, but it'll be happening shortly :D

My day job is working at a full service boat yard, running the fuel dock mostly. When it slows down right around this time of year they switch me to doing the odd job/paperwork/etc

I'm currently a temp at Allstate. When I'm not working there I'm a stay at home mom. This is going to be my first year trying to breed balls.

I just breed Balls, but I'm a Manager at Spencer's and an Analyst at JPMorgan.

High five! Me too!!! Where did you go for school? where you working? :D What a strange coincidence.

Technical solutions management with an independent IT company for my "day" job, breed blood & short-tailed pythons as a hobby.

Aspiring breeder, hopefully our trial run this season will go smoothly and we'll be ready for more pairings in the 14 season. Stay at home mom & we own a local watering hole :carouse: but that is basically equivalent to baby sitter most of the time. Adults are very much like my 3 & 6 yr old when they are under the "influence" lol :D

I work at wonderbread/hostess brands, I also do some construction on the side. Hoping to become a police officer though!

This might be my first year breeding, still not sure if im going to be able to though so i may decide to wait anither year.

Im also a Dietary Aide in a nursing home and rehabilitation center. Also a full time student. Still have no idea what direction i want to go in though :/

I work at a video game developer testing videogames lol. It's not the greatest job, but it pays the bills and helps me buy snakes :D.

NO it's not at ALL like grandma's boy... Before I started working here, it sure sounded like it... Then things changed and now it's not. :rolleyes:

I breed BPs and cornsnakes mainly. I work in a hospital doing Vascular Ultrasound.

I work 40 hours a week as an electrical engineer for a defense contractor. I work with weapons grade laser systems as well as laser range finding systems. Occasionally I work with the backscatter x-ray team (yeah I work for the company that makes the "full body scanners" at airports... hate me lol) I'm all a college student Electrical engineering/Mechanical engineering double major with a minor in Intelligent robotic systems.

I'm a RN student and stay at home mom. My husband just graduated paramedic and is doing fiber optics while he waits for his test date for his license. We will hopefully be breeding balls and leopard geckos for the first time this year! =)

I will be breeding Leo's and balls in the near future. Currently I am a full time student at Oklahoma State University for Computer Science. As well as being almost full time at Walmart as an IMS associate (truck unloader ;) ). Busy busy, can't wait to graduate! :)

I breed ball pythons and am an operations and production capacity analyst for the largest privately held agricultural company in the world.

My day job is doing installations and support for a software company...

Hobby - breeding ball pythons

Day Job - breeding ball pythons

I'm going into breeding balls and burms as well as boas.
I'm a full time college student studying special education. I also play football and work at Autozone in the offseason.
My fiancé is a student and works full time as a home health aid.

Next year I should have my first hognose and ball python eggs. I work a regular 9-5 as a psychologist with individuals who have PTSD.

This was my first year breeding leopard geckos (still have some eggs in the incubator), and hopefully ball pythons. I work full time as a social worker. Home based case work is what I do.

I breed ball pythons, carpet pythons and boas (BCI). I also build custom tanks and racks for reptiles. My "real" job is working for BMW.

I manage the commercial lines department for an insurance company.

My wife breeds leos, although she's thinking about stopping and downsizing. I breed balls as a hobby and stopped breeding rats. I'm an operations supervisor for Caterpillar Logistics.

I breed ball pythons, rats and mice.

My job title is Foodservice Field Manager. What I actually do is oversee the managers and operations of 40 school cafeterias.

I also work as a gunsmith occasionally on the side.

John

Hoping to have my first clutch of ball pythons hatch out healthy this season.

The company I work for produces glass tubing items for the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and tobacco industry. I work in maintenance, which involves getting my hands into everything. I head off the automation and electronics department, and am also the project designer for anything relating to machine vision and automation.
I am the plant electrician, apprentice machinist, aws certified welder, do everything and anything when asked guy. I spend roughly 5-10 hrs a wk working on my laptop playing with plc's and basic programming. I can be found hiding in the back somewhere behind my welding mask, when it's not to hot in there. It's gets to be around 110-120 degrees F in the summer.
Ohh yea I can't forget... Volunteer fire fighter when I'm summoned.
I plan to get back to school within the next year.... Don't know what for yet.... But probably something engineering related.

I have bred bps in the past.

I have been a professional brewer for over 10 years. I have recently taken a job as Brewing Supervisor at the Sam Adams Brewery in Pennsylvania.

It's actually about a half hour from Hamburg Pa. So I'm REALLY excited about that!

The PA brewery is the main brewery. 2,000,000 barrels a year, 2/3 of Sam Adams beer made in PA.
