LOL.....

I actually did that put a pair together while I cleaned a cage thing.

Of course, my male was 5 years old and the female was 7. It was July and I didn't think they'd be trying to breed. The end result was a nice litter of boas. I didn't make a whole lot of money off those babies. I even gave a few away for free. I'm one of those that enjoys breeding my boas. If the only way to find homes for the babies was to give them away...... Well, I'd still be breeding my boas and I'd be giving away the babies.

I'm sure there's more than a "tiny fraction" of people on the forums that feel the same way.

I'm also sure that there's more than a "tiny fraction" that breeds their boas in hopes of making some money. Unfortunately most of them will only "break even". Some of them will actually "support their boa habbit" and have a little left over. A "tiny fraction" will make a "LOT OF MONEY".

Now I don't have any proof as to how much money anyone makes. I just know that if breeding boas to make money was "easy"...... Well, a lot more people would be doing it and raking in the cash. I think that the "vast majority" of the people that breed boas do it for the enjoyment of the hobby. Got to love that rush, when you see those little wigglers in that slime.

As for those who choose grow their animals fast and breed them young..... Well,.......... I refuse to comment on that subject. I think the forums should be a "friendly place". I don't feel the need to add fuel to the fire of a "touchy subject".
