A pet store is alot more then just selling or working with the animals you like. The problem with opening a pet store especially in an area where big box stores like petco and petsmart is surviving. This is why most small pet stores have gone the way of the dodo bird. Same thing happened to hardware stores when home depots and lowes came about. Location is key for any good retail establishment. Therefore price of lease is crazy expensive. Also the general pet store public arent aware of the ball python market so selling morphs would be difficult. One thing to get into if doing a pet store would be saltwater fish. There is a way bigger market for general public sales with saltwater. Most big pet stores dont fool with saltwater stuff so you would be able to corner the market on it. Also dry goods is important but it would be very hard to compete against petco and petsmart on that. In order to be succesful you will need to move product fast. Again this will be hard with the big box stores in your area.
