I have a business using reptiles for parties and presentations. We are legal and the business costs will put a hurtin on you at times. We have to carry $2 million of liability to go into the public school system in the metro area and that will run close to $2000 year. Not to mention the FWC licenses, city/county occupational licenses, and state corporation licensing. We have anywhere from 30-60 animals depending on the season, but we LOVE what we do. SAFETY, SAFETY, SAFETY!!! Every time I go somewhere, I always think of the risks involved. As for pricing, I price myself to be competitive with the petting zoos and pony parties in my area.
