I think what Mike is trying to say, with ball pythons it really takes a lot of capital investment (money) to start this even as a hobby, let alone a business.

I think it's good to start small as a hobbyist and try to see how much you can decrease your expenses for a small collection. Getting another job will only help you establish ball pythons more in your future. Every large snake breeder had day jobs and started this same way. Whether it was a contractor, police officer, musician, or a baseball player.... You're gonna need a form of income to invest in bps.

To be honest, every question you asked,, just need to look where the answers are and the internet is your friend. Good luck.
