Like everyone else has said, it just depends on why you started investing $ in reptiles. Is it a hobby that you would like to expand or just trying to make some extra money?

I can relate to you in that, I have invested a huge chunk of money in hopes of breeding and I have no idea if it will work. BUT if thing don't work out, I will still have an awesome snake collection. I'm fine either way. Snakes hold their value pretty well so you could always sell your collection and make back most of the $ you spent.
