I need some reassurance here..

So those of us that have said we aren't in it for the money are lying? Honestly, I've given away more than I've sold, and the animals I do eventually produce will probably be wholesaled out to middlemen anyways just so I don't have to deal with the advertising side of it. If I make a few bucks then great, but this is a hobby and not a business for me.

So what do you do when you have 1,000 snakes? Work just to feed them? What about feeding your family? What about putting your kids through college? By the way I'm open for free handouts. Obviously people are miss reading this thread. When I originally posted it, I asked how many of you have snakes that are paying for themselves not how many of you are rich because of it. I took this hobby up because of the killer snakes that are coming out of it not because of the money, but if I can have these snakes pay for themselves while I'm on the road to making some of them then great. When I say pay for themselves I mean make just enough to feed, house, and care for them(e.g. vet bills, cleaning solutions, substrate etc.). My wife and I make great money aside from anything else. Even if I was making miilions at this I would never quit my day job.
