It's not that I don't have time to take care of them, but the time I lack to do other things in life. I have the bare minumum in time to do what I do now. I just don't know if it's worth it to try and make another breeding season happen and then have that much less time on my hands. I would more than likely have to hire a part time helper to help me take care of the animals I'd be producing this season. My question is, would it be worth all that just to try and be in the rat race?



I'm starting to think not! I think it would be nice to down size and just stay focused on a few projects. But then, before you know it everyone and their brothers doing the same thing and you have 150 plus babies on hand to sell!!!



Out of the 70 to 150 Boa's I could possibly produce, more than likely 20 or so of them would be keepers.



I didn't ask this question so that I be made to look stupid!

I just wanted to know if anyone else has similar problems and what they might or might not do.



Seeing how the market is a little on the slow side, I think my question is one I'm sure many of you ask yourself??? Or maybe nobody really thinks about the consequences and they just keep producing more and more every year. I don't know, maybe I am stupid for being in this money pit! I do know one thing, it hasn't panned out to be all that was sold to me when I dumped THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS of dollars into this hobby/business!



Maybe your a lot smarter than most of the dummies like me! lol



Piece OUT! bro!
