Curiosity about hots

And by the way, as far as snake-breeding as a career..."don't quit your day job"!
It's not an easy replacement for a full-time job...in fact, it's more like farming, in
that animals that you are counting on can & do get sick & die, or fail to reproduce.

And usually by the time you invest in something rare & manage to raise it, others
already have & the prices have dropped...or the latest fad has changed. it really
takes a great deal of luck plus hard work to make much money at snake-breeding.

One piece of advice as far as working with hots (or any animals) is to avoid using
force. I devised my own 'shift-cages' that snakes willingly entered (or with minimal nudging) and the result is far less risk to the keeper & far less stress to the snake,
a "win-win". (BTW, you couldn't pay me enough to milk them for venom!)

Oh no, I already intended to do such. Get a day job and have that be primary source of income till breeding can take off. I try to think forward, thankfully the specifics of what I'm looking at going into aren't too prevalent today, hoping they don't.
