How are you funding this whole operation? Are you going to have help selling off the babies? No offense, but I personally wouldn't buy a snake from at 15 year old. Do you have the money, space, and time to care for every one of the hatchlings if they don't sell? Ball pythons live for 25 years... have you thought about the future of your collection through the rest of your education and beyond? I know you're excited, but there is plenty of time for the breeding. What's important is that you've thought it through thoroughly enough and have support from your parents as well as the resources to properly care for the animals.

It sounds like you're well on your way. Good luck!
Currently, as you already know, I am under 16 so i cannot get a job. However, my dad gives me money for getting straight a's. It's something we do and ive never had a B. I actually have a 27 sister that is my business partner. she takes the babies, i deal with the adults. Essentially, i have a greater knowledge on breeding then she does. To most of my questions i have my basis for what i would do. However, i kind of want experience to them. I can read markus jayne, but he says to play with it. It varies from region to regon and it's just what works for him. Others that i dont really know are just that, I dont know. i've looked, you certainly don't know me, but im not a reckless punk. Would a reckless punk set aside 600$ for vet bills? I would like to think to the contrary. Would they even spend the time to write what i am writing? I didn't post this to be condemned, merely helped. I do appreciate any answers to any questions. i know it's a lot, which is why i made a thread. So that conclusions can begin to come together with those of experience. Even a thousand answers to one question is helpful, so that i can see the many methods and pick what sounds like is right for me. I have baby racks, adult racks, and juvy racks. I am a hard worker. I will do my best and certainly hope that somebody decides to buy from me. I can'tmake them... It's something I want to do. I wil also have a job by the time i have my operations going full time as i will be 16 so that should answer in another word MONEY. It's you're choice to have an issue with my age. All want to do is to provide healthy, quality gems for the herp community including myself. Thank you for at least reponding and this will shed some light on my background and my intentions.
