If its your time you want to free up and you dont like the maint, and work involved then getting big snakes is not the answer. They are more work. Bottom line is you are on a website devoted to the hobby and the love of reptiles. If you dont like the work it takes then i say sell em all and get out of the hobby. If the love is gone then its done. Now if you wanted your hobby to pay for itself and turn it into a buisness then it takes money to invest in order to do so. You also have to spend the money on animals that sell not just cool animals you want to breed. It sounds to me that you saw the ball market and thought hey i can breed and make money. Its not that easy.
It takes alot of work and time to turn it into a profitable venture. Obviouslly the easiest way to do so is by dumping a ton of money to set yourself up. That is the quickest way but not alot of people can do it that way. Most started small and grew a collection. I started in the early 90s with big snakes and switched gears towards the late 90s to balls and stayed with them ever since. Ive had times i thought about getting out of it and everytime i did i couldnt pull the trigger. I love the science behind the genetics and seeing what i can produce too much to stop. You have to ask yourself if you are commited cause if yoir not then your husbandry is going to lapse along with your intrest and if thats happening then you might as well call it quits.
