Look, if you want to breed stuff with your friend no one can stop you. It's your money. Honestly, after reading your breeding plan I have my doubts. I think you're going about it the wrong way but you do what you want.

Take into consideration where you plan on being over the next 5-10 years and make some priorities.

Also, accept that people aren't always going to like you and shoving your attitude down their throats probably won't help

Thanks. I didn't mean to shove my attitude down anyone's throat. What would you suggest to improve my plan for breeding?

Narrow your scope (species wise)

Invest in high quality (don't breed just to breed. Create high quality animals that are going to make you stand out and I mean genetically and visually)

Know your market. For example beardies can produce up to 22 eggs in a clutch, and lay up to 5 clutches in a season

So if you have 120 bearded babies that means you're probably going to have to wholesale most if not all. Then imagine how hard it's going to be to do that if 10 other people are trying to wholesale 120 bearded dragons. Is especially if the ones you're producing are plain Jane normals. Same goes for anything else you produce.

If you want to make money you need to spend more on individual projects

Thank you. Really good advice and I appreciate it. We're definitely going to start with higher quality morphs. And luckily since we're splitting all the cost 50-50 it doesn't really cost a lot to buy anything.
