Getting started in a saturated market

[Snow Balls]

Don't expect to make a return on any investment for some time. Females will take at least two years to get to size. Sometimes longer. With a quality male though you can put him to many females in a relatively short amount of time.

I should also add you should pick morphs you enjoy not just for the money. As for me that just happened to be clowns. Also for now I would just try breeding what you have and get a feel for breeding. Maybe invest into some quality equipment like a good incubator. Good equipment will give you better chances for successful clutches.

Also check out morphmarket you can use the filters and genetic calculator to get an idea of what you can produce with what you have or are considering and also see some current prices of what the morphs are selling for.

Hope this helps give you some ideas!

Recessives and double recessives are where the money is at currently. Unless you’re breeding a 3 gene codom to another 3 gene codom. As SP said, load up on females and don’t expect return on your investment for some years to come. I still haven’t turned any profit and I’ve invested thousands upon thousands into this hobby. Also make sure you don’t cheap out on your equipment, your equipment should be just as important as the animals you’re putting in it. It sounds like you have some pairs that will make some money already but don’t get your hopes up because it won’t be much. If you’re doing this for the money though then you’re already going to fail before you even start. Breed what you like, not what is going to make you the most money. As for wholesaling you’re going to have to talk to your local pet stores, if you produce a bunch of normals you won’t be making any money at all because normals don’t sell and if a petstore buys them then they will pay for them even cheaper than you will be able to sell them for
