It's quite possible you could make it work! I like that you are going to be working a full time job for a while instead of thinking that you can just jump into being a full time ball python breeder and make a livable profit from selling snakes.
Don't ever forget that this hobby always has the chance to fall to its knees financially, just like anything else, except that since you are working with living animals there is even more serious financial risk.
If I only had your gutsI'm taking the safe route, since my priorities are more about a girl than snakes right now.
