Hey, that's the same boat we were in. We wanted to try breeding because it would be fun.

Now, about a year later, we have over 20 ball pythons and we have invested a lot more money than we thought we would.

I would recommend that you do some serious planning as to how much everything will cost. Figure out what makes sense for you. Think about electric bills, thermostats, bedding, hides, vet bills...it can add up.

But, I can tell you I have had no regrets! It's such a life-changing hobby, and trust me...seeing your first clutch of eggs makes it all seem magical.
