breeding business. how to start up???

[SSSSnakes]

I breed what I have a passion for and I either sell them or give them away to people I trust to take care of them. I would never invest in a breeding business at this time, when laws are changing constantly. Even Ball Pythons are being banned in some places. In NYC you can't keep Balls or Boa Constrictors. As laws tighten you may find yourself with a lot of snakes that may be illegal and can't be sold or shipped.

And the thought that just because you spend a lot of money on a snake you will take care of it, means nothing to some people. I run a snake rescue and get many high priced morphs and other expensive snake all the time. People with money who can afford these kind of snakes, don't care how much they spent for it, when they get tired of it they still neglect the snake. While I have had a few people ship a normal Ball Python to me at a great expense, just so the snake goes to a good home.

Really good points here, SSSSnakes. Really some stuff to think about.
