You could start out with a pair of less expensive snakes and play with it while in college. I can't imagine you having room to house 30+ snakes and their food at this time. 2 to 3 to play with might be something that would allow you to learn for now. Slowly add a couple more after you get out of college and over a long period of time you might build a substantial breeding project. Or if after you graduate Med school, do your internship, pay off your mountain of college debt, don't get married or have kids, then you can afford lots of snakes! Then again if I wasn't married who would handle taking care of the snakes and rats after long grueling 10 hour days of work and such? Then what about those business trips that keep me away from home for a couple nights at a time!
