Thinking of starting a snake breeding business.

[Robyn@SYR]

I know we are just piling on at this point, but sometimes the expense of running a live reptile business really does get nutty.

We had a 10,000 sq. ft breeding facility, and in the Colorado winter, public service each month ran $3000. Rent itself over $7000. That is an incredibly steep hill to climb, and represents only two of the dozens of recurring monthly expenses.

Our monthly paper towel bill alone is enough to gag a rhino...

Breeding snakes is much more enjoyable as a hobby, as opposed to a sustaining business. In my experience.

And yet there are quite a few folks that have made a nice living at it.
