    dollars because I got 12 eggs and 6 were Pastel and 1 was a norm. Now what I'm planning to do is by a Lesser male to breed with the females in a couple of years and breed with my honey bee girl next year. Then once or if I get a QueenBee then I'll work on projects for then. Your just like give me Ball Pythons I don't care all I want to do is make money off it. Well Ya gotta start small and move your way up like I'm doing. I've been breeding basics bike Fire to Fire or Pastel to Pastel for the past 7 years now I'm moving up and around with different morphs. In my opinion if your not like BHB Or Ralph Davis or any other person you gotta live with it and do it just for fun.

    Now I think i'm done here. hopefully you learn something from this theard.

    I think I have only 3-4 snakes out of 30+ that will willingly take frozen rodents. If I buy 30+ frozen rodents, thaw them out only have the snake not eat them, then I am really wasting money. At least if my snakes refuse a live meal, I can continue to feed it and try again another day or it will go into becoming one of my future breeders.

    Or you go to feed only to realize the snake is Blue and doesnt get fed anyway. I had 3 this week, so i just put my rats back in with the other feeders.

    I have 3 that are like garbage disposals... they'll eat anything.

    0.1: Kingpin | x2 Mojave | Super Pastel HGW | Albino | Sterling Mojave Pinstripe | GHI Pewter | Pastel Het Clown | Sable 66% Het Clown

    Re: I need some reassurance here..

    I have invested thousands over a four year period, this will be my first year producing offspring. I will never make up my lost money, but to me it is not lost. It went to something i love doing. I could of spent it on something else, for example drugs or alchohol, etc.. then the money would be lost. In time maybe my hobby will pay for itself, but for now I am happy with just doing what i do.

    Re: I need some reassurance here..

    just enjoy the snakes, if u make money than you're lucky. just breed them for youre own satisfaction, u make money than so be it, i love my snakes so much i dont sell. down the road try to sell em......in the mean time just love them and care for them!!! the healthier the snake, more money, especially if its a morph...
