Well, just speaking from experience and the experience of the many people I have talked to. i have been hard core into this hobby for about 1.5 yrs and $20k. I currently have a clutch of spiders and a clutch of pastels in the incubator...and my fingers crossed for a few more clutches this year. I doubt I am going to break even by the 2 yr mark and I feel that I have been extremely lucky thus far with no major problems (I kept balls for about 4 years prior to trying breeding).



"If you are breeding balls for money, you'd be better off getting a job at Wal-mart." ...my bid for quote of the week.



With the number of hours you spend on the internet, at shows, looking for deals, feeding, cleaning, networking, etc... you would make way more than 10k if you just got a second job getting paid minimum wage



However, if you are doing for the love of the snakes, you will be paying yourself a thousand times over when you hatch your first snakes...even if they are just 'worthless' normals



Let me know how you business venture works out...
