"Joint projects"? - Not breeding loans

[h00blah]

Or maybe a guy just wants to see a project happen, but doesn't want to put forth the effort himself, or doesn't feel he has the know-how to make it happen. So he "invests" in the project, funding it in a way that is helpful to the guy taking care of the animal, and they take it from there.

Great response Jen. Just curious. What would the person investing hope to get out of co-owning a ball python that they don't plan to breed first-hand? Money? A particular snake? My mom loaned me money for a snake, and she joked about how she's just putting forth her investment, and she doesn't mind if I pay her back or not. I know she's my mum, but I want to pay her back anyways . Feels good! In my case, would my mom just be hoping to get a specific amount of money back? She's definitely not interested in having a ball python to raise up and breed haha. I'm more interested in producing something brand spankin new! I want to be the first to produce a brand new designer morph, so I'll probably be holding back a lot of offspring.

Of course my situation is completely different from Justin's, as he is running a business, and is not JUST breeding for fun's sake lol. I just wanted to throw it out there as a different perspective .
