I said for example. They are not around in my yard in CT, they are $7 a pop at the pet stores here. I just meant that if you buy an animal, even in bulk, your margin for profit will not be as high as if you breed your own. Especially on things that are easier to make reproduce. I agree their will be regional variations on what is popular and what makes sense.
Example:
Green Anole bought in bulk cost you $3.00 and you sell it for $7.00, the store owner takes her 30% approx.($1.20) = $2.80 profit.
Green anole raised in pet store cost you $1.00 (initial animal seed stock and food pro-rated out over time), then sold for $7.00, the store owner takes her 30% approx. ($2.00) = $4.00 profit. This is a 70% higher margin.
Or call it a widget animal, the math/formula is the smae.
Regards,
Alan
