I was talking about profit, not sole occupation. And I do know about the other expenses, but, for example, if you have an incubator that costs $200, and it hatches out 20 clutches over it's lifetime, it didn't cost $200 each, but $10 instead per clutch.

And I don't think that the electricity is all that much either... especially if you don't heat with lights. My electric bills are $23 a month and so are my neighbors. I keep 12 snakes, he doesn't. The electric cost is pretty minimal.

You are very right though, it most likely won't make you a millionaire. I doubt that I could ever be filthy rich, and that's not why I do it. But I do have the idea in the back of my mind of working at this, and eventually being able to quit my day job, in order to have time to care for all my animals, and that they can repay me by bringing in enough to compensate for quitting the job.
