I was wondering if anyone out there might be able to answer a few of my questions. I am a junior in high school and would like to breed snakes. I have been fascinated by reptiles my whole life, and have been keeping them for about four years. I asked my favorite reptile shop today if they had any advice on certain species I could breed, ect.. However it seemed like he was trying to discouraged me. I know that somebodys got to do that, but even though I was persistent, he just kept giving me excuses not to. However I know everything he said, and I have been thinking about this for the past few years.
My question is, do most people have a hard time trying to find homes/places that would buy their snakes. Also what might be a snake that I could breed that has relatively few young. (I have no intention on making money, I just want to do this as a hobby.)
Thanks

I think you're on the right track, doing it for fun as a hobby rather than doing it to make a buck. While you can make a buck here and there, I've always done it just for the love of it.
What snakes interest you the most? That would be the one I would go with. Kings and Corns breed easily, and the young usually feed with little or no probs, making them good for first time breeders. Go with the type that interests you most...and have fun!
Good luck!
Bill
