I suppose that's not terrible. $15 per snake, at least if they all turn out to be normals you aren't screwed.

A word of caution about that.

A lot of people have had the same plan and realised too late that the animals you sell directly affect your reputation.

So, if you really think ahead, you will want to make sure the babies you sell on are all eating well and healthy. That could take time and will take money in housing and feeding costs etc. Housing 30 snakes takes generally isn't cheap and, for the reasons given above, you don't want to cut too many corners.

Since you cannot try and pass them off as CB and have to be honest about their source you may not get as much as you think per snake and they will be eating and basking their way through any possible profit every week. Mutliply that by 30 (if there turned out not to be any you like in the bags ) and it can quickly become a problem.

It may be wiser to think of it as recovering some of the money you spent on them initially rather than hoping for a profit.

Not trying to put you off just pointing out planning ahead can avoid a lot of potential pitfalls.

O know I 100% understand the housing and feeding and such I would not be concerned about. But like you said for every month or so you have them what you thought you were getting will just keep going down. I'm on the fence about it all in gernal I may try a bag and see what I get and how hard they are to get on feed and such. I would not jump into 30+ right off after alot of the reading I have read about them.
