IMO, with good business decisions you can make a profit. It would be pretty hard to make a living off of snakes, but could happen. You would have to invest a large sum of money to make a lot. One piece of advice I will give is breed codom morph to morph as opposed to codom morph to normal. This will give you more variety, and less normals. Also, simple recessive will not produce normals. Normal do not sell for hardly anything; for example, I sold normals last season at around $10 - $20 each.
