If you need some reassurance and your even having second thought about everything maybe you need to reevaluate and decided if it's something your willing to sink a ton of money into and not see much back other than the satisfaction of taking care of your animals then maybe snake breeding is not for you.

I was like you when I first started, I thought it would be cool to make a bunch of money selling snakes but the more I thought about it and the more I discussed with my girlfriend and other reptile friends I realized I shouldn't think about the money. If I worried about the money all the time I wouldn't have the animals I have. Not that they were super expensive or anything but If I thought about the cost to care for an additional animal and the amount of money I'm putting out and not making back I would never buy animals. I would just keep my first snake and be a single snake pet owner.

I'm not trying to talk down to you or start anything, I just think that if you really want to get into breeding and selling you should really think about it first.

That's my take on this whole thread... Yup.
When I originally posted this thread a few months back I was kinda worried about money. In the last few months my collection has grown on me. I really don't care if these animals pay for themselves anymore. The other day when I bought my het pieds I realised that even if I produced a snake worth a million dollars I don't think I would sell it(it being a new line of my own). Don't get me wrong I'm obviously going to sell snake along the line, but, this whole breeding idea regardless of the work has become too much fun to put down.
