I would put us between intermediate and a advanced professional. I have been doing this for almost over 4 years now. No where near knowing everything but feel I know enough to share and help others any time I can but I am not a know it all. We have well over 100 bp's and it grows more after every breeding season. We do use this as part of our income and hope to make it our main income within the next 2 years or so. I love making and watching these babies so it's not all about money. It's the joy and excitement before every egg hatches.
