Yes, just like puppies or kittens, baby snakes are very exciting and cute. How many of those babies are in the same home and thriving a year later? 2 years later? 5? I took in a rescue last year that is likely only a year old and was near death from neglect and poor care. He's not an exception. How many people you know with hatchlings and how many with 20 year old snakes? How many homes do some of these breeders and pets get flipped through? How long do you think most survive in the care of your average pet owner? Selling them isn't the issue, it's where they end up long term.Originally Posted by trnreptiles
I’ve been told that too, but considering this is also my first year breeding, I haven’t had much trouble selling my babies and having people who are interested in them. There’s always new people getting into the hobby, adding new breeding stock to their collection, or just wanting a pet (and then they end up falling down the rabbit hole)
I think the biggest thing to focus on is building an online presence and a name for yourself, especially on Facebook and Instagram. I try to post daily, sometimes every other day or so.
