Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Ok, talking with a friend, yes we like to brainstorm, we were thinking about how many snakes are produced each year nation wide.
we would like you to tell us (accurate numbers please) how many snakes you produce each year. I will be posting this on other forums so please do not reply to the same post on another forum as we will be keeping track. For this study, we are talking snakes alone, if you breed different types, that is fine to include them all in one post. Not to forget about the amphibain, lizard, torts, etc. people, but just work with us here.
I am sure there are things you would think of to add to this inquiry, but that is something we can do in the future. Just wanted a general number for now on the above question.

32 ball pythons in 2003 (used to produce that many with 1 cornsnake)

Good luck, extrapolating an accurate number from a sample will be hard.

I understand this willn ot represent the whole nation. Just thought it would be interesting to see how many are produced, though, from those that respond here. I know alot of people breed and do not even come to these forums.
