In the interest of honesty, I believe it would be in your best interest to share more about yourself. Let your potential buyers know they are ordering snakes from a teenager. If they choose to support you, then great. But honestly, it would upset me greatly if I was doing a deal with someone and found out they were underage and they were not forthcoming with that info up front.

So adding something like: I've got my first snake when I was 13 and I was hooked. Now I'm 15 and with my Mom's full support and assistance, I'm breeding snakes.

;)
Honesty is always is the best policy! I would think that would be very important to you considering what you've been through lately.

Oh wait. I missed that part. So its ok for Andre to breed not me? Is that what is happening? Or am I taking this wrong?

He does not act like an obsessed child when it comes to asking questions about it. You sound like you are just excited with an idea and it seems that Andre has thought about it and put some ideas down.

i think that minors can start their own businesses as long as you have a legal guardian that is lible for anything that happens, and is involved, so they know what they are getting themselves involved with.

Not physically acting, but what you put across on the net. You sound like every other kid with a huge plan. It sounds like you are in it to make tons of money and it does not come that easy. PM muddoc and ask him what happened his first year and what he got out of his first albino breeding. Breeding is not a guaranteed thing.

Just act in a professoinal but personable manner. If you are going to start your own business, dont argue with people. Because, you have to be on everybody's good side, otherwise, there is no business, and first impressions are everything, so i would start now.
If it is planned, and your parents are with you, then why dont you already have one started, Go for it!!!!! You can do anything you put your mind to, you just gota do it, so go on, start your business, i am eager to see how it goes.

yup, that is what everbody says. lol. I am an only child, and i have grown up with all adults, and socialized with only adults/older people, so i tend to take on that persona.

no i really thought you were like 18+...lol

Thats the reason I act like I am 14 here because in real life I am like an adult, always actling like one talking like one..etc.

So I guess thats the reason?

haha, like i say a lot, most people do...but, it is alright most of the time. It keeps me out of trouble, and i learn a lot more things, older people are a lot nicer to be around, less drama, less hang ups about things.

Think about it this way, a ton of the people that are going to be your consumers are on this website. Act like a professional, and work hard, and you will become one.

Exactly what I am saying. If people here don't have anything positive to say about you, what do you expect them to say when people ask about you. I personally research the people I buy from prior to sending any money. I look at various forums that they may be associated with, look at the company website(if there is one), and ask other people about their experiences with that person.

I split the original thread into two. Feel free to continue this discussion. :colbert2:

thanks...and i love the smiley. lol.


so yeah....if you are younger, keep it open, and just as professional as an adult. if not more professional, because you are younger, you have more that you have to prove to them. im sure i'll go through this when i sell some from my first clutch, but, then again, ill be over 18....im almost 16 now, and im getting my '06 breeding pair soon, so yeah, ill be 18+....

but that is a big issue, age, a lot of people look down on people that are younger, and i definatley understand that, but it is hard when you are not as immature/irresponcible as the rest of the kids your age, and you are looked down upon too....absolutley understandable...but hard.
