I,d say yes you can if your willing to dedicate the time and money. There is no exact formula, but undoubtedly hard work is the only sure thing you need win or lose. Hard work. And it will be very difficult, I mean any business too, not just herps.
Also, any time a hobby becomes a business, you lose a little of the fun (maybe more than a little).
All of the breeders I see that are successful have good sized facilities, many breeders, and plenty of equipment. They might have started out small, like in a basement or spare room etc., but reinvested in their projects for many years before making a decent buck.
My point is any business venture is possible but never easy. I wish you luck and would never discourage anyone from achieving a goal or following a dream, just being realistic. Thanks, Bill
