when considering cost you also need to consider: incubator, hatchling rack, food for the hatchlings, thermostats and heat tape, electricity cost, other small things like substrate, hides, water bowls, and the time and effort you need to invest. so even when you get lucky and get a big nice clutch with nice odds and make a few hundred dollars from selling them, you will most likely still be quite far in the red.
recouping some of the costs is not that hard, but truly breaking even is, especially if you go for quality when it comes to the necessary equipment. also you need to put some money aside for reptile vet visits that may become necessary.
given how addictive and fun the hobby is, the money you make can also easily be absorbed by expanding the collection and upgrading the equipment ^^
the key point is that if you worry about breaking even and making money with it, you will most likely worry a lot 
EDIT: Damn, the OP was faster ^^ You seem to have the right attitude about it yes thats what it is, an expensive hobby with the potential to maybe recoup some of the costs one day 
EDIT: black pastel + mojave, black mojo, is also really really nice.

The Big Bang almost certainly (beyond reasonable doubt) happened 13.7 billion years ago. If you disagree, send me a PM.
Evolution is a fact, evolutionary theory explains why it happens and provides four different lines of evidence that coalesce to show that evolution is a fact. If you disagree, send me a PM.
One third of the global economy relies on technology that is based on quantum mechanics, especially quantum electrodynamics (electron-photon or electron-electron interactions). If you disagree, send me a PM.
Time Dilation is real, it is so real that all clocks if they are precise enough can measure it, and GPS could not possibly work without it. If you disagree, send me a PM.
The 4 philosophically most important aspects of modern science are: Evolutionary theory, Cosmology, Quantum mechanics, and Einsteins theory of general relativity. Understand these to get a grip of reality.
