I've kept and bred boas for about 13 years and I'm still not sure I have made all the money(cash) I have spent on them back. What I do have is an incredible collection of boas though and through breeding, each year my collection gets better. Last year I kept some very nice possible super striped salmons, some cool sunglows and traded for a salmon motley het. ghost and a motley het. sharp and my pockets didn't get touched. This year I'm hoping to have my best year yet producing some very nice boas and I'm sure I'll be trading with someone for something. Have I made much cash, not really? Am I as cheerful as a kid in a candy store when I get home to find babies, hell yeah! I have to say that getting that one amazing looking boa in a litter is much more exiting then getting a couple of $k in the mail. Then you keep that amazing boa and sell all the other ones so you could buy another amazing boa from someone else. You can't get into this if you are just trying to make a buck, producing babies is not guaranteed. You might spend $3k to $4k on a fancy Motley and the only litters you may get are from your $50 normals.
