How do I make money with my pets?

[Kodieh]

To prove my point, here is Precious. She is a rescue I've had for well over a year now. She wasn't taken care of previously (due to misinformation, not willful mistreatment).

She will never correct, despite the proper calcium regiment she is currently on.

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.

Please just look after your gecko properly. It's tail is way too thin, so increase the feeding. Normally a few pinkies will help fatten up a gecko. Also the calcium in the pinkies bones is very beneficial to geckos. You also need to make sure that your gecko has a hide box with moist moss in it. Buy the looks of things your gecko could do with lots of calcium and phosphorus on the feeder insects.

Not to mention that that leopard gecko is suffering from severe MBD in its front legs. They aren't supposed to bow like a bull dog.

1st- to the op I would recommend getting a job at a pet store where every person you come across you know will like animals. You will also be able to get calcium at a discount so that you're gecko or you're next gecko wont suffer from MBD.

2nd- Bull dogs get bowed legs from lack of exercise due to lazy owners. Incorrect diets don't help either. Heres a pic of my Olde English Bulldogge shes about 4 now and was 2 in the picture and as you can see her legs are perfectly straight due to sufficient exercise and a good diet. So if you ever come across a bull doge with bowed legs please try to educate the owner a little.

Sorry forgot to ad pics of my gecko i dont have him anymore I gave him to my niece for her b-day but this is a pic of him at about 2 years old. His legs are straight with a bend at the elbow not a bow. I rescued him from a pet shop that had him in a tank with way bigger ones that were trying too kill him it looked like and he was shedding at the time too. The pet store keeper said he would be fine that they were just playing. Well he found his way into my pocket and so I brought him home. I had to use a q-tip and mineral oil to get the stuck smooshed shed that was stuck to him from the force of the bigger ones biting on him. After i got the shed off his body all he had left was around his feet wich is how he got the name Sox.
here are before and after pictures of his shed surgery.

You said real. Are you implying that my dog isn't a real olde English?
The pic you posted you got off the internet that dogs legs aren't bowed they are straight that dog just has a really big chest.
