While I think that it would be neat to have an approximate number, you will have to exhaust MANY avenues to get a decent number (and even then, it will probably be on the low side). But, for kicks, here's what i produced this past year:
Eastern Indigos: 18 (this is my primary focus of interest in terms of captive breeding)
Ball Pythons: 20
Garters (eastern): 88 (from one birth!)
Green Snakes: 10
Next year hopefuls (I gave many of the following this year off so they will be ready to go): eastern indigos again, eastern massasaugas, gila monsters, giant argentine tegus, green tree pythons, olive pythons, and african bush vipers and a few other surprises.
IMPORTANT QUESTION: What are the herp laws in Phoenix Arizona? What restrictions do they have on large constrictors, venomous (types of venomous), crocs, etc. Is there a permit system in place? Just curious.....my wife is from Phoenix and I promised her that one day we will be moving back to Arizona.
Good luck,
