hello,
here's my idea for small breeders (know your taxes and financial plans):
i recently had an oppertunity, litteraly bite me, or crawled into my hand. a few months ago i rescued an eastern milk snake from a person that was going to kill her, almost a month later she laid 12 eggs. i let her go in a refuge, she never ate for me. anyways, the eggs are due after labor day, i constructed a nice incubator for them for about 20 dollars. anyways, my dad was looking for a way to start a simple little casual business to write stuff off. i told him about the eggs that i was keeping a secret, and how i could sell them, and we could write off the heating bill, and other things associated with the snakes. he actually said it could work. so this fall i'll be selling my hatchlings (and yes i have a permit to sell them, ship, ect.) at some shows, or to some kids on campus interested in snakes. next year i'm going to breed my male snow who's het for green blotched with a female snow. i also ordered a pair of anery ziggy's from kathy love. that's all the snakes i want for now, and have room for, 2 pairs. but my family isn't looking to really make money, just to write some stuff off, and me it's a fun hobby, and hey, it'll pay for books atleast.
