Hi,
I know I have not made any money yet? And I know that many people have left breeding ball pythons because they did not make any money either. If I am alone in my feelings on this then please let me apologize right now to anyone I have offended. I would not want anyone thinking this hobby or business venture is not a good one. I love it and anyone that I have dealt with seems to like me. I am a difficult negotiator I know that and I admit that, just ask the guys at repti-racks and ask them what they think of me. But I work very hard for my money and I want to feel like I have done everything in my power to get the best deal possible. I think one of the reasons I am thriving in this is because I have never thought this would become a viable business. I am just hoping to breed killer snakes and hopefully be able to sell them for a fair price and recoup some of the thousands of dollars I have spent over the last two years. Taking care of ball pythons is a really fun hobby for me and my kids and I am really looking forward in getting many nice clutches over the many years ahead. My expectations have been met on every level so far and have no intention leaving this fun hobby any time soon. Although, if I do not get good clutches each year I will definitely stop breeding and sell off most of my snakes and just keep a few of my favorites. I failed this year in getting a clutch, but I did a lot things wrong. And I admit this. This year I should be doing everything right and I think it will pay off for me. The funny thing is everything I am going to be breeding are pretty worthless in today's market but again the money was never the motivation for me in this hobby. The snakes are why I am here. I love them as much my own blood children.
Regards to you, and to anyone else with this passion for balls...
Bill
