....well...
1)Money: Just the cost of a pair of snakes, 2 cages, food, and electricity. So for 1.1 (a pair) of normals raised from hatchlings, rubbermaid cages, etc., probably less than $300-400 depending on the price of snakes and food. Now if you're talking a pair of Lemon Blast Pinstripes, this figure would be HIGHER!!!
2)Time: Again starting with hatchlings, the female takes longer to reach reproductive size, so you're looking at a minimum of approximately 2 years to get fertile eggs to hatching.
So jump on in, the water's fine!! Scott J. Michaels DVM
