I need some reassurance here..
I just got done spending a bunch of money on snakes, racks, and supplies. Of course I'm not going to make it rich off this thing, but, will these snakes pay for themselves after time(through sales of offspring you sell). How many of you have snakes that pay for themselves? How many of you have snakes that pay for themselves with a little contribution? How many of you have snakes that don't pay for themselves and definately need a big contribution? How many of you are losing you butt do to your darn snakes? Does anybody know how I make this into a poll? I'm new to this site Thanks all!

Re: I need some reassurance here..
I think if you need reassurance you bought the animals for the wrong reasons. You will be lucky if you can get your hobby to break even for you. There are a lot of costs and unknowns involved. Animals can die, breeding size females or males that don't want to breed etc.
The best medicine for this is to actually love the animals you're investing so much time and money into.

You need 2 threads to point out to everyone you got into this for the wrong reasons?

Re: I need some reassurance here..
Poll done + both threads merged
I invested some money (and we are not talking couple of hundreds), I am not making any profit, I am not breaking even, but definitely have no regret, this is a hobby for me and what I chose to spend my money on, and I enjoy every minute of it, so even if I lose money I do not consider them "darn snakes"

Re: I need some reassurance here..
I invested quite a bit & I won't be making back anywhere near what I invested this year (or the next). But I don't regret a penny spent or a minute worked (let's not forget the investment in time).
Hope you got into it mostly because you love the animals...

I'm very narrow minded thank you very much.
His approach through the first thread he made wasn't the same as this, so he came across as one of the "get rich quick kids" we see in here frequently. Yes, I jumped too quickly, we all make that mistake from time to time.
