Even though I'm not going to be your customer (because, well, I like glass...) I do think there's a niche for your cages if all goes well. And California is a good
place to start, there are more snake-keepers in California (I'm a former resident of many years) than in many other states, so wish you best of luck. You
should be advertising to the various herp societies there too, once you get up & running.
