I'm have a hard time finding the answer to this, but how long do you find yourselves "stuck" with babies for sale? I've heard some people say they've had some for well over a year before they're sold. Is that typical?
I'm also curious to the demand for royals vs boas in general. Does one often sell better than the other? I suppose it depends on market and demand.
I've toyed around with the idea of breeding in the future, but nothing more then a very small scale operation when I'm ready. I just have to decide if I want to breed royals or a specific breed of boa (since I love so many, especially Dumeril's).
I'm professionally a graphic designer and I'd put together a website, Facebook, offer shipping etc. So I would hope by marketing myself people would know I was out there and what I had for sale. I realize I'm not going to get rich off of this and I'm totally ok with that.
My worry is breeding snakes and getting stuck with a lot of unsold babies that I would probably want to keep already lol. As appealing as being a crazy snake lady sounds, I just want to know what your experiences are with selling your snakes and how you go about it. How often do you keep the young before they sell? Personal experiences with customers you'd like to share? How long did it take you to get it all started? Selling boas vs royals? I am no where near ready to take on this venture still a lot of research and decisions to be made.
But I thank you in advance for any advice personal/horror stories you'd like to share on this matter.
