This is getting RIDICULOUS! Lesser pastel for $400 shipped?!

Ball Pythons are a bad investment?? Uh oh, I better call my accountant. I thought I was doing okay breeding ball pythons. I haven't received a paycheck in four years but I seem to be able to pay my bills and I even went to the super bowl this year. Not bad for such "bad investments". I'm not getting rich but I sure love what I do, plus I was never trying to get rich to start with...

I'm not saying it's easy but it can work and it sure is fun...

Plus, you can't put two beanie babies in the same box and have 6 new ones by summer, just saying.

You are reading me wrong. I am not a breeder, so I don't have any idea who makes how much, or who turns a profit or doesn't. I don't have a dog in this fight one way or the other.

I am just trying to join in on the conversation and offer one more point of view on the economics side as a consumer and not a breeder. Don't mean to offend anyone at all.

And you are right, Beanie Babies don't breed.

I am ALWAYS happy for someone who is successful at what they do. And people like you provide hobbyists like me with healthy animals, not taken from the wild.

I appreciate everyone who breeds healthy (and affordable) animals. I love snakes, and without breeders like yourself the hobby would not be anywhere close to being as great as it is now.
