How do I make money with my pets?

[CrazySnakeLady0]

Did you have funds to pay for them when you got them? If not, that's not a smart plan. I am a teenager also and I do chores all month, constantly, to get paid by my parents. On top of that, I find others who need weeding, tutoring, babysitting, etc. to get the money for extras they need. I never see money when it's handed to me, I only see reptile food. I've spent literally less than $20 on myself in 3 years, but that's how I like it. I know how 7 lives I am supporting and money can get tight but I've always found ways to get what I need. In reality, they're not super expensive. Selling pictures with my babies has never crossed my mind. I simply enjoy them and help people get over their fears and squash myths about our "killer" pets. Have fun with them! And get that gecko calcium! I work with a rescue with a gecko that looks like that and have to suck fluids from his joints to help relieve pressure....

This is a respectable method.... does anyone else remember the days when you did chores and didnt get paid? Thats what a weekend / evening job is for. But at least this young lady is working for what she wants, learning to budget, and putting the animals as priority.

OP, your best bet as a 16 year old trying to make money is to get a job. Its not that painful an experience, you'll expand your horizons, and help motivate you to better things. Thats what minimum wage jobs are, a starting point. Who knows, you may also be able to afford another reptile or improve an enclosure.

Find something that interests you and get a job that fits that. Video games? GameStop. New Era hats? Go work at one of their stores. Etc. Etc. Lots of opportunity.

I remember my first legit 5 day a week job at 8. Got paid in goods because I was too young for a paycheck. Every day after school. And it wasn't even a family or friends business haha.

Oh and still had chores I didn't get paid for. My parents said you have a job, you don't need an allowance haha.
