Start up costs for small time breeding operation?

[Shewter325]

I am a new breeder and to get all started up with some good morphs and racks and everything ended up costing around $2500 but I didn't plan for things as well as I could've. But it is addicting so plan on spending more than you think you will spend unless of course its just for business :p

Plan exactly what your gonna buy and what ur willing to spend if you don't want to learn the hard way like me

Ah, plans...I remember plans...That was 2 years, 24 snakes, and $18,000 ago!

I'm an MBA grad and am currently getting my masters degree in accounting so business related things are my strong suite lol. I just have to brush up on my snake knowledge and get more experience handling the snakes. If I ever do breed it would be more for a hobby rather than a business anyway. I would plan on selling snakes more to finance my own collection rather than to make a living off of it, but as I said previously, that is a few years down the road at least, I'm just trying to do my research.

Good Stuff! I've just seen so many small business ventures gone wrong due to poor or no planning so I always toss the business planning aspect in when I can. Must be project manager in me coming out... Good luck!

Can't believe I forgot about this:

Point in case I'm beginning to get into the business. I spent roughly 5-7k on snakes and equipment. However there are also unforseen circumstances. IE i use a professional snake rack in a snake room. Keep the abiant temp at 85°... so that means heat in the winter, ac and heat in the summer. $$$ after its all said and done. Plus you're going to need an incubator. Buying them is expensive. Lots of little things. Biggest most important thing buy good genes from proven established breeders.
