The thing is the Reptile Community is relatively small compared to car buyers for example... You would be selling to all the FB group people, Forum People and Fauna BOI people... With that said depending on machine costs id have no idea the Long Hall out come for Profit margin..
My business is extremely expensive to buy equiptment, but you make a living continuing to work...once all is paid for only to start over with Payments again etc etc etc... Hahahaha

Like you said, with as small as the community is I would be very surprised if I was able to make up the cost of the steel alone for the mold build. Machining costs? I don't have to worry about, but the steel is the big question and molds use a LOT of it.
