I have spent somewhere in the neighborhood of $35,000 since 2005. Thus far I have made $0. This is my first season breeding and I only went for 1 clutch. I will never make my money back, or anywhere close to it. Then again, I knew that going into this and have no problems with it. My snakes are worth everything I have spent and more. I am breeding for what I want in my collection and choosing the absolute best examples I can find of the morphs.
Do I think you can make your money back in time or even have a business with it to make a living- sure, there are a few out there who can and do. But those are few and far between and have decades of experience, knowledge, passion and quite frankly are a bit off their rockers to make such a leap of faith (in a good way!!).
