    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

How much money do you need to start breeding snakes?

I tried breeding snakes for a hobby a while back with very little money and it was a complete fail, so I quit for a while. However, I have been able to save up a little more and I was wondering how much I should put into it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 
I'm pretty open to any snake, perferably ones that are easier. I'm ok with corn snakes but I would also like to try some other types of snakes as long as they don't reach over 6' at full length
 
Looking back at your previous posts, you sold your corn snake collection that included proven breeders, then went on to trying to pair a ball python and then wanting to get into hognose.
What exactly was your complete fail?
You need $ for housing, substrate, cleaning supplies, food, housing for babies, vet care if needed, shipping supplies, and many people when they become very successful will start a website. You also will need materials for good record keeping, and if the business is more than a few casual pairings, you might consider business insurance, and advice from an accountant/attorney concerning taxes, etc.
 
some of the corn snakes that where proven breeders but where not proven by me, I tried to get ball pythons but never did and I got the hognose snakes but they never tried to breed. I'm pretty sure I gave the hognose snakes what they need to feel the most comfortable to mate and yet they never did.
