Im excited for your excitement. Truly I am. So dont take this the wrong way........just wait till you become so excited that you finaly decide to drop a few hundred or a few THOUSAND dollars (that you dont have) on a cool morph because the normals just arent doing it for you anymore.......then youll understand why these crazy threads get started.
Sure people keep saying "do it for the love of the animal not the $$$" but when it all boils down to it the only people that will truly succeed with that attitude alone (IMO) are the ones who HAVE THE MONEY TO PLAY WITH FROM THE BEGINNING THAT ARENT CONCERNED ABOUT a RETURN BECAUSE THERES NO "NEED" FOR IT IN THERE LIFE.
A need for a return is eliminated and therefor it becomes strictly pleasure for those persons. Unfortunately thats not the case for the vast majority of us in this game. Even though many of us are hard working honest individuals that do love the animals, the hard truth is that unless we have an ubundance of money to live comfortably regaurdless of our investments in snakes, there is that desire for an increase. Ultimately it is a drive whether we want to admit it or not even though the majority are probably still having tons of fun although broke. I am.
I love my animals so much that I hope I never have to get rid of them for any reason. That doesnt change the fact that if I cant make anything on them (again...to at least break even) I will incure a degree of stress for the welfare of my finanial responsibilities. Why?? Because I dont have the money to begin with. Thats why its an investment for most of us.
IMO...if you have the money to begin with then you cant realy lose it so theres no stress and no real financial drive.
So all in all it is a gamble. But we all take risks because without risk taking life would be boring.
Just having fun with this so dont anybody misinterpret my tone.
