I'm a smaller breeder that concentrates on a few projects that I like and seem to sell pretty well. There was more money in it five years ago but we knew that wouldn't last forever. My inventory is down to two snakes that I put on my site about a month ago. Stuff is selling pretty well in my opinion, not overnight or for thousands of dollars but stuff is selling. There is excitement out there but you wouldn't know that sometimes by skimming Facebook or certain forums. I have a waiting list for a couple of my better projects and I get almost daily e-mails and PMs about my new morph. I'm sure the guys with Sunsets and Scaleless Heads would say the same. I actually stopped posting about the King of Dinkers because the e-mails, PMs and questions were almost overwhelming. In addition, if half the people on my waiting list come through it will be a year or so before I would need to advertise them for sale. I'll keep doing this as long as I'm excited about what I produce and seeing what other people produce. Who isn't excited to see more Sunset combos or what happens with the Scaleless. Not to mention all the other new combos that will hatch this summer. You can enjoy this hobby or business regardless of your goals or your budget.
