My 9 yr old son just used his birthday money to buy a Ball Python! I have always been fascinated by snakes and thought they were really cool to watch but I never really considered owning one until my animal loving, biologist-in-training son decided his next purchase would be a baby male Banana Ball Python. Once we started shopping around and researching these snakes we both became completely enamored with all of the different morphs and the thought of diving into the world of snake ownership on a more serious level than just one animal as a pet. That brings me to my actual question. How difficult would it be to breed these animals as a hobby? How do you get started? There's obviously a lot to learn but we wouldn't rely on it to put food on the table. At the same time, if we're going to do it, I would want to produce quality animals that someone would actually want to purchase so that we don't end up broke with hundreds of snakes in our garage! If it worked out in the longer term, my son would LOVE to be able to earn a little money doing something like this throughout high school rather than making $8/hr pushing shopping carts in the grocery store parking lot! I've already learned a lot from reading what you guys have written in this forum. I'm hoping you can share some additional wisdom that applies directly to my current situation. Thanks in advance!
