Re: Who's Making Money Breeding Ball Pythons?
I've been out of the red for a couple years now, the hobby I love will likely keep supplementing my income going forward.
I say likely because I might keep 80% of the cool stuff I produce. The best part of all this for me is producing that animal I've been working to get for a couple years. Can't beat that feeling.

I haven't hatched anything yet. But I really don't see myself making any profit or even breaking even for many years to come. If the snakes can pay for their supplies and food(rat food/bedding for my breeders), I'll be content.
But I'm not really in it for the money. I started out getting snakes because they're beautiful animals.

I'm looking to produce a lot of axanthic stuff in the coming years, I was really happy when I produced my first Super yellowbelly and Super Lesser.

Sorry, accidentally pressed send.
I think snakes alone I am about $1,300 in the red, and I would really like to add $400 to that before the year is out. Then there was the rack at about $800, and not counting anything rodent related. I breed my own but feed and bedding adds up, once in a blue moon I sell a rat or mouse. Hopefully I will get 2 clutches this year but nothing deffinate yet and I know I will not be selling much of my first 2 clutches unless I really luck out on the odds. Maybe next year if I am lucky I will start to get out of the hole? I love this hobby tho! If I can make a living at it great, if not maybe I can at least support my rodents and the occasional new addition.

I got a D in accounting in college. However I still notice one thing here is a lot of you are counting the snakes that you bought and their cost as "money lost". Yes you spent the money by the end of the year but that is not money lost. You still have the snakes which will breed for you in the future years.

I bought my cinny in 08 to make that same snake, I might try Cinny x Black pastel next season.

I've been making money breeding snakes for 20 years. The key to my success has been staying focused on MY goals. I don't get caught up in all the morph hype and "I have to have every morph" mentality. Im still expanding and evolving in the hobby and will continue to do so. Purchase wisely my friends.
