I can't say how much I put into my snakes. I started off with het normals and babies. I raised the babies and traded 2 for one het female. I then traded that girl for a pastel. Most of my snakes I got from raising up from little and traded them. I now have 2 large females (I bought them as adults but got a killer deal on them) 1 beautiful normal, 1 mojave (again got on a killer deal), 1 pastel (traded), 1 pastel male (traded) and 1:2 rescue bp's.

I have spent what feels like a lot on equipement, but there is NOTHING like seeing the little snake pip. I have gotten about $200 back from the sale of my last clutch of 7 normals. I have NO idea what I am going to get out of this last clutch. I have 8 eggs and will split the clutch because I traded the breeding to an albino, mojave, and a pastel. So we have a HUGE question mark. I MIGHT get all normals, I MIGHT get all mojaves, or pastels. So I am slowly climbing up the ladder to get my albino (my main goal of breeding) I am really taken now with the mojaves and the pastels. So I can't wait to see the babies. If things go like they have in 3-4 years I will have broken even.
