Over the years I've had a couple BPs and I really enjoy keeping them. I've been wanting to take the step into breeding, but I have some questions for breeders - particularly small/medium size breeders. Ideally I'd like to break even - or atleast get close, I know there will be a large upfront cost but over time is it reasonable to expect to have a self sustaining hobby?
  • How hard is it to rehome your hatchlings?
  • What price range tends to sell best?
  • At what point would breeding rats be cost effective - 5 snakes 10, 30?
  • How much time do you dedicate to your snakes a week?
  • How did you get started breeding? Why? Did you collect some snakes and decide to try breeding them or did you collect them with the intent of breeding?
  • Do/Did you have a spouse that was hesitant to have snakes breeding in your house/a large-ish collection? If so how did you get them to come around?


Thank you for any help
