I am not going to lie- we want to make money. DH especially- but he does love the snakes. I want to raise dogs too, and plan to some day. That's my passion; I'd do it for free happily- but wow, it does pay so even better. But I love both and enjoy the snakes. I would have snakes even if we didn't breed them, simply because I love them. But we wouldn't have so many or have gone out and bought all these snakes if we didn't think we'd at least break even and make a little... and if we can make a lot, why is that bad? Why is it assumed someone who makes money off their snakes (or dogs for that matter) is the scum of the earth? Can't you love animals AND make money?![]()
