This thread was started back in 2008? Still a good one!
I jumped off the cliff this year and decided after getting laid off from my job to get into breeding reptiles full time, I actually started two years ago. My plan was to switch in another three years but getting laid off is speeding things up!!
As for ball pythons I have 22 females I'm breeding this year, 8 males (7 are being bred) and four females too small to breed this year, two of those should be ready next year (including my pinstripe pied female!). So 34 ball pythons total. Hope to have a lot more when things start hatching out!
I also have a pair of dwarf / super dwarf retics that I'm hoping will produce this year and are paired up right now. Also have 5 king snakes that are breeding size but I'm getting out of that project. Looking for more cool ball python projects all the time, I like the Axanthics from JD that are similar to the Stormtrooper lines, have my eye on some Highway / Freeway projects, also want to get more Clown and Pied stuff, I'm really interested in the Panda Pied project. It's such an awesome time to get into breeding ball pythons, there are so many morphs out there that you can find several niches to work in. I'm trying to find really cool morphs that I don't see at local shows so I can bring some variety to town!
Starting in 2018 I'm going to get a table at several reptile shows including NARBC and Repticon, assuming I have a successful year breeding!
