So I get asked this question a lot: Why do you wanna do such a thing like breeding snakes? Mostly by people who dont understand reptiles or snakes and think they are gross or creepy.
So here it is: For me reptiles (snakes in particular) have always been fascinating and I have always been a field herper while I was growing up and my mom would never let me get a reptile for a pet. It wasnt until I was 22 that I got my first a veiled chameleon. After that my hog island boa. I wanted more but my wife said no especially since I saw some that were wicked cool and the prices were outrageous. So I had an epiphany: what if I breed the snakes I buy so they can atleast pay for themselves? After a few weeks of discussion she gave in.
So essentially I got started collecting/soon to be breeding because there were things I wanted but couldnt afford so I thought I would make them myself. Now the more I get into it the more I want. Whether this turns into a business is all in the stars.
So now I wanna know why or how you got into the reptile hobby whether its breeding or collecting or what have you I wanna know.
