Most of the full-time breeders are so busy day to day that most probably won't have the time to reply. From what I've heard from full-timers over the years, it's a tough business to succeed in.

One of the really neat changes they've made to Reptiles Magazine is the section where they focus on a reptile specialty store...it's nice to hear the background stories about those that have succeeded with making their hobby into a full time living. However, I'm willing to bet that more have failed than succeeded simply b/c the overhead and costs/expenses can be difficult to overcome. I am a teacher and reptiles are simply my hobby. While it would be nice to make a profit...it is too tough considering the cost of rodents, electric bills, etc. I'll be happy if someday I simply make enough to support my hobby!
