I think it really takes time to make any money. If you are wanting to do it as a hobby you are not going to make any money to start. I just started this hobby a year ago havn't even breed any of my snake yet. Im allready 1500 in the hole. I just hope when i do breed a couple of my snakes this year I make enough money to buy a new morph. You got to think about all the start up cost like racks that isn't cheap, food thermostats bedding, dont forget snakes that take a couple of years to mature. I think you can make a profit but it will take time to build your collection before you see any profit from it.
