does this look like breeding???

well brandon i think the thing is that everyone has snakes more-so for fun and because we love them, and not so much for profit because you cant really make a profit off of thamnophis sp. i know you buy snakes for cheap prices and then selling them again for higher prices im afraid this will not work very well because u most likely will be buying lower priced snakes and those you cannot put up the price on. What i suggest because i see how u want to make money and at the same time have cool snakes/ have cute little babies that u can love, is save up for something like an albino ball python pair which you probaly could get for 1,200-1,400 right? and then u breed them and get 6 babies 6x $600= $3600 and with that money u could probaly get a pied ball breeding pair next year you get 3,600 from the albinos and 6x 1900= 11400 which mean your total profit that year would 15000, PLENTY enough to feed them and give them appropriately sized cages, and cover vet visits, and give them the best care possible, and even at the end of that u still would have a very good profit. The only thing i must insist if u do something like this is to read up for like a month or more on them/breeding and treat them almost like they were your own children,
just a suggestion though
o and i dont know but i wouldnt put that lamp inside the cage they might burn themsleves on it , i know i do

In the video, did you notice the male using his pelvic spur (as I described in permalink #9 of this thread) to stimulate the female? Facinating stuff. Thanks for posting the link, Natalie.

u just gave me something to think about. i have a breeding colony of leopard geckos and am about to start with milk's. I found pet stores that i trust to sell the babys to good parents and if they can't buy all of them i am willing and able to keep them. i did this prior to starting the colony. this way i get to see the whole cycle of life. but i hadnt really considered investing in really good morph pairs. my plans for life are to retire in 6 years and move to northern Arkansas become a paramedic and go to med school i just havent decided if i am going to work with humans or animals. but the biggest part of my retirement will be opening an exotic animal rescue ( road side zoo ) that way i can rescue some of the larger unwanted animals and educate people. i got at least six more years to learn as much about owning and running a rescue (laws cost etc). sorry i should of posted this in its own thread i just started rambling. any how thank you for the idea.
