Biz Year 3: Buy/build incubator and hatchling rack, consumables, and replacement "stuff" if something breaks. Show loss.
Biz Year 4: IN THEORY you could show a profit if the sale of babies > expense of consumables, assuming 1) you don't buy more "stuff", and 2) you don't have any vet bills. It is very unlikely that the sales you make this year will offset the losses from year 1 through year 4.
This is very helpful. I'm starting to realize the HUGE amount of costs in Ball Python breeding. Thank you.
