I don't mean to discourage you, but only to warn you, that breeding snakes for a living, while possible, is extremely difficult. The only real way to make a decent profit, is to be able to breed, and come up with very rare, and even unseen color morphs. Someone mentioned Bob Clark, and he is a perfect example of this. I'll even quote him,"My business depends, to some extent, on my ability to make new "products" available on a continuing basis."

This can be extremely expensive, as many "new morphs" can cost in the thousands, and it is always a gamble. You never know if that 15 thousand dollar snake you bought will breed,or even live.

The thing is, if you can't come up with something new, you also have a great deal of competition, even with simple hobbyist breeders who simply breed for fun, and will most likely beat your prices considerably.

Another warning is, if you go in to breeding for a living, you have to realise that that will become your life. Breeding animals isn't like other jobs where you can call in sick, or take a week off for vacation. You will have to be able and ready to take care of your stock, every day, rain or shine, sick or not. As well, you can consider taking vacations, even just for a couple of days a thing of the past.

If this is really something you want to do, i urge you of course to do it. I simply wanted to show you just how much it is to consider.
