haven't heard about fish and eggs yet. thanks.
i have seen some super high priced corn snakes, but to be honest they haven't really caught my attention like the balls and trees have. i didn't know corns can get 6FT. was assuming they are all little tiny things.
It is not about the money here. It is about you getting experience and gaining knowledge. You need both.
to be honest, i see dollar signs. i know that sounds terrible. but that's honestly the main reason i am thinking about breeding so early. i've listened to people talk about how rewarding it is to have your animals produce a healthy clutch and to see them push their way out of their shell. these aspects interest me as well. seeing them come to life sounds awesome. i can totally see myself being infatuated with the tiny things. i'm not going to jump in recklessly only thinking about dollar signs. but i am trying to look a few steps ahead and consider if this can be a viable business.
At the end of the day they are living animals and should be treated as such. Having a plan for their health or emergency plan for heat or cooling etc is vital and they deserve to be treated as an animal not as a pair of shoes.
kinda bummed to hear you tell me tree pythons are not for beginners. the red green and yellow morphs are awesome. i really want them. if you don't mind, can you elaborate a little more on why you don't recommend trees? i can deal with attitude. to be frank i would respect a little attitude. as far as biting i'm pretty sure i can handle it. i'm pretty rough with my cat and she tears the heck out of my hand. i'm sure i'll be a little scary getting bit the first few times but i doubt it would be a deterrent. i'm not made of paper.
Once again, you need to do research. They have large teeth. Most are display animals only. Some calm as they age. The Red and Yellows are babies. They turn mostly green as they age.
Good read here. Please be smart about the things you choose.
