    Dont think you are going to get a lot of options for 180.00 otherwise everyone and their mother would be doing this. Also you say you arent in this for the money but that appears that is all you are in it for which is gonna push some buttons here. I would look into a savings program that would yield you enough money to buy the snake you want.

    Breeding

    So you want something cheap to make something expensive but are not doing this for the money?

    Make sense! Good luck with that, if you want to see a return that you can invest in future projects you need to change your thinking.

    With a $180 "investment" you will lose money and not even break even. Basic housing, feeding, and cost of breeding will cost you more then what you will produce your first year, if you even produce anything.

    Re: Breeding

    So you say your starting to breed but do you actually have any animals ready to breed? Or are you asking us to recommend cheap morphs that are breeding size that are $180?

    Let me be slightly off topic. I was big into cars and when I got into them I paid 35k for it and 50k in mods. You couldn't touch it with anything under 450k. Now those cars are 15k used and those mods are tons cheaper cause its old technology. Guess what every 17 year old kid drives them and it eventually happens to all markets.

    I have been on this site for a little over a month and have seen dozens of posts of I wanna be a breeder so I can be rich.. sad to see what these animals conditions will look like.

    I plan to breed selectively for me. I have a plan, I am collecting supplies and I am making contacts in the industry. i dont understand why people are so lazy they cant do their own legwork.

    it does make perfect sense how am I going to pay for snakes food and other supplies if I don't have money if you can find me someone who will donate me the food and supplies then I will not sell the snakes I would gladly keep them. I have $400 dollars I just subtracted the money from racks, cages, supplies, and food. I did not ask this question to be insulted and to be told I am lying, so please don't do that just help me by answering my question.
