So I've been a snake owner since 12 now 19 i really love ball pythons and have started to grow a little bit of a collection im hoping to sustain the collection off of the offspring and maybe one day turn profitable without sacrificing the care and quality of my animals, anyways with that being said heres the numbers i got currently my feeders are running me a $1.6 a f/t rat from a great local supplier that feeds mazuri i just had 2 racks built with 32 quart tubs with heat for $450 i bought a used 32 quart tub rack from repticon with a ve-300 for $250 then i found a homemade rack online local for $20 dollars i just had to redo the heat tape and 9 41 quart tubs included so $100 total in that rack
so i got $900 in racks in thermostats enough to house 23 snakes for their lifespan i currently have 13 tubs filled with the following with pricing i was able to get quite a few package deals

i'm bedding my snakes with reptile basics cypress mulch at $12.99 a 2 cu bag, my question here is i'm just trying to decide what the next move is for the 10 tubs that are available should i buy more specters for ghi super stripe combos, should i get some more het pied females? i really like axanthic stuff and i could do a super stripe axanthic project. anyways id love to hear some options thanks!
