What is the bp market like?

DO NOT ENTER THIS HOBBY THINKING YOU WILL MAKE LOTS OF MONEY! This is not a hobby to get into if you do not TOTALY understand the needs of the animal first.I suggest you buy one AFTER you learn the neccasary husbandry needs.Then and only then think about POSSIBLY breeding someday.

I agree x10.

Personally in my first year alone I have put around $1300-$1500 into just snakes and housing for them...thats not counting the food/energy bills for them. And I know hands down I will not see any returns for another 2-3 years, and even when I do see some returns I might make back my initial investment(if I'm lucky)but I'll still be in the hole for 2-3 years of food/energy bills. I recommend only getting deep into this hobby if you have a few thousand dollars to blow on them. Pretty much I got into it cause I love it.

On the other hand if you're going to be producing one, maybe two clutches a year, I'd say you should be able to sell your hatchlings. There are many classifieds to sell snakes on and most local petstores will buy normals two or three at a time at a wholesale price(ie. $15-$25)

My best advice is to do it cause you love it, not for the money. and good luck!
