Posted by: DZBReptiles at Mon Jul 9 09:50:32 2007 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by DZBReptiles ] I would like to preface this thread with the statement that irregardless of what the future may hold for my wife and myself in this business/hobby, we do it because we love animals and enjoy the time we spend together. Now to the point. I am always reading replies from people saying that "you won't get rich in this business/hobby" or "if you can just get it to pay for its self your doing good". But I also see people stating they are "full-time breeders" or that "they have just moved to a larger or new building". Are the people who are doing this full time already financially well off and the business is just a tax shelter? Or is it totally possible for someone to set up a successful full-time breeding operation and make a good living from it. I know the people who have been doing this for a decade or more got in at a good time and have more then payed their dues not to mention paving the way for us newbies and I am grateful for their successes and failures. But what I find myself wondering is this ideal of making a living breeding and selling reptiles just another pipe dream. So what I would like to know is how many hobbyist/breeders that have been actively working towards the goal of making a living in this trade and have been at it for less then five years feel they are on the verge of reaching their goal? I would also like to know your greatest achievement and worst set back thus far. As well as what you would have done differently. Thank you in advance for your replies and sorry for the wordiness. | ||
