How much $ to get started?

[Andybill]

I just saved up. Anyone could tell you that they didn't just become a business right away. It all starts as a hobby. As far as how much, it depends on the reptiles, where the rodents are bought, and the specific equipment you use. You'd probably like at least 5000 if you're jumping straight to a business, but that doesn't leave a lot of room. Like I said... Most start slowly, but that's just them. I'm hopin' my first clutch ever hatches in 2013. I dig clowns just saying.

Agreed. I spent about 5000 on my collection and then supplies and all that. I dont think you should get a loan but thats just my opinion because the snakes you get usually wont be ready to breed for a couple years supposing you get babies to raise up (female breeders are spendy and few and far between) so that means you will be payin on a loan and then on top of it cost of operations and so it just doesnt seem real lucrative and the fact that it is a slow growin business if that is what your intentions are.
