Was just wondering how some people buy the 20000 bp's ive seen out there :)...along with all the animals i see people just buying almost every week!! I barely get by with my 7 animals and 3 out of 7 only eat cheep vegies..mostly my sav is what kills me. So i wanted to open a post on where you guys pull your income for your reptile purchases :)

All of my normal balls (11 of them) came from working myself. My dad paid for my pair of het piebald balls, my pastel ball, and my pair of het albino balls, but I have to pay him back. I've already paid him back for my het albino pair and I'm working on the rest!! :p

Most breeders with expensive charges, have full time jobs in other fields and the seed money comes from such employment.
Once you become a breeder, much trading can then be done with other breeders, and this swapping of high end animals eliminates the need for real currency.
It's very cool to buy herps with herps, but it only works if you produce stuff other breeders want.
Barring that you sell your animals and use that cash flow to reinvest in other interests.

Prostitution of the mind and body. In other words I am an artist.

You know if you hit someone from behind right at the base of the skull they'll be out for a good twenty minutes, nice and clean. You can grab their wallet and be long gone by the time...
Er...
Live off Ramen noodles and forego luxuries like furniture that matches or curtains to support the herp addiction with whatever (legal) income you may have.

I get disability payments from the government. $414 of it goes to rent and the leftover $500 is for anything I want. I'm hoping I'll eventually get a job though.

I kid you not. I have promised my wife no more snakes until we buy curtains for the living room. :) Of course she really loves the new bull snake, so maybe she'll bend on this.

That for me is the most terrible terrible thing. If it weren't for these damnable snakes we'd have matching curtains, a leather couch, a home entertainment centre. It comes to the poin t where you go, ok, I got money, what do I buy? Course, you gotta get rodents first, and don't it seem like you always have a herp debt?!
I hate snakes, those things just eat and sleep and poop and I spend my time worrying about them eating, if they're hot/cool enough, budgetting my last dollar to purchase food. Argh! Well at least I get my utility bills paid, and I did buy myself a skirt for V-day.

Will you accept an out of state post dated third party bad check?

Both of my snakes were rescues. I'm planning on getting two more within the next year. I pay for everything myself.
