***ignorant people don't understand snakes. stereotypes are a narrow minded way of jumping to conclusions. most of my family may be considered "churchy" and they love my snakes.

to the OP: pet stores are notorious for barely scraping by even if they do make it. our local pet store here caters to all sorts of furry animals and has a small reptile and fish section and they barely get by, and much more of the general population keeps furries. i've seen the same snakes and reptile supplies sitting there for months without moving. i'd say you would be more likely to make it work if you lived in a large metropolitan area with a diverse culture. if you really enjoy just being around your reptiles all day and working with them it may be more profitable to rent out a building and start a larger scale breeding operation and run an online business. you could even sell supplies online as well, and travel to all the nearby reptile shows and get a table to move your products and animals. whatever you decide to do, good luck!
