    Re: I need some reassurance here..

    Now dont take this wrong OP this isnt directed to you UNLESS your just in this for money.

    If your in it for money, you wont make any money. Why? Suppoe you have a 30 snake rack and a few snakes get sick.....More then likely they got sick because you werent caring for them properly. Or you took shortcuts and the cheapest deals you could find, bringing in Low quality, sick snakes. Also proper quarantine will be avoided to rush breeding, inviting 10? 15? 20? all of your snakes into disease.

    Second, if your 100$ Normal female gets sick, your not gunna buy her a new rack if needed or seperate her. Your also not gunna Take her to a vet and cure her ilness, inviting prolonged sickness into your collection.

    Also When you try to sell your snakes, often times people only buy from someone reputable. If you take shortcuts and have Mites, sick snakes, etc? Nobody will buy from you. Also If I sold a snake and somebody wasnt happy about it, i would work with them even if I took a loss....would you be willing to do that? Why did I take a loss? I'm not in it for money.


    I can go on and on. But if your honest with yourself, take care of your pets right...you most likely love them and wont let things happen to them. Youll have happy, healthy snakes. And possibly from there you can attempt to have happy Customers.

    Happy healthy snakes = Happy customers,
    Loving animals and not money is what this Hobby is about. If you love them, you'll do WHATEVER it takes to keep them healthy.

    Good Luck OP
