How would someone go about starting a breeding project? (more)

Metal_Pitbu11 Jul 27, 2005 09:41 PM

I'm soon to make a good start of my life and sometime down the road when im financially comfortable, i would like to breed snakes. Not entirely sure what, this is all just an idea for now, but what im wondering, is how to start? I mean obviously i would need the snakes, need to know what i want to breed for, but it doesnt seem like something you can just get into...I would have to have buyers for the snakes, which means advertising and a reputation. It just seems so overwhelming. But i think it would be something my family and I could enjoy sometime down the road. It just seems difficult to get started. Any insight would be appreciated. thank you.

There are all types of morphs out there.Not to mention the locality boa's like SURINAMS,PERUVIANS,BOLIVIANS....etc..What I would do, if I'm not financially set yet is, TO PURCHASE MY FAVORITE BOA!!Get something you Love.Don't just breed for money.Start off with a female,in a year from now, get a male.Don't worry about customers advertising,and all that nonesence.JUST WORRY ABOUT RAISING HEALTHY ANIMALS,and producing quality offspring.If you do that right you will definately get buyers. GOOD LUCK Ash Lopez
