I'm not a snake breeder, nor do I plan on being one, but I had to watch because it caught my interest. This got my cogs turning. Great business plan, and guys don't forget taxes. I hate taxes, everyone hates taxes, but if you don't want the IRS brown shirts garnishing your wages or taking possession of your house over you not paying them $516 (I just did the 12% tax bracket times the $4,300 for the feds, it all depends on your yearly income, but that will do as an example) than account for your taxes. I hope that I don't come off as a dick, not at all what I'm trying to do, I just don't want people forgetting about their taxes and end up getting into trouble because they forgot to put the money they made off of their snakes down as extra income. Great video, I enjoyed learning about the breeding business, thanks!

Great info! I found your channel about two years ago when I was getting back into keeping snakes as a hobby / pet interest after almost two decades away from the hobby. I've been strongly considering a very small venture into hobby breeding / small business breeding for about the past year, going as far as to research local zoning laws for running a breeding "business" out of my residential house as well as construction costs to convert my carport into a dedicated snake room (brick enclosure, full up-to-code, electricity, water, etc etc). Since your channel is definitely geared to helping people like me, I will say that the one thing I would like to see you go through is some of the stuff for people like me who are a bit stumped when it comes to the less obvious "gear and equipment" side of things. Example. Someone like me is well aware of how to run (what I call it) a "PetSmart enclosure." Y'know, 50 gallon glass enclosure for a single snake, bedding, couple of hides, lamps / mats, proper humidity and proper heat zones / ambient. The entry level thing pretty much everyone does. What is less obvious to people like me is how to scale that up to a rack system with a comprehensive understanding of which options on which equipment is necessary and what is a luxury "bell and whistle." What's marketing hype and what's actually a necessary feature for the overall benefit of the snakes? Also, it's easy to reference "it'll cost $X to set up your own feeder breeding colony." I think a lot of us understand the basic concept "Rats. Feed them and let them reproduce" but there is so much conflicting info out there about how to actually put that into practice efficiently and effectively that it ends up being a massively confusing misinformation overload. And of course, the big elephant in the room is genetics. I'm trying to approach this responsibly as the last thing I'd ever want to do is pair up bad combos that are going to produce offspring that are going to be non-viable or have reduced quality of life, but the quality reference books on the subject are all $100+/per. Could you recommend the most comprehensive books on the subject to get started to reduce trail-and-error wasted money reference material cost? Basically what I'm requesting is that you think back to the type of unknowns and hurdles that you had when you first started and perhaps take for granted now with experience under your belt, and do some videos on that kind of stuff every so often. Not asking you to do a beginner breeder's tutorial series or host instructional "how-to breed for dummies" videos, but maybe just point us in the right direction by hitting some basics and giving us enough intermediate knowledge to bridge the gap between "owns a few snakes as pets" to "initial breeder setup." Thanks for considering it.

I can tell you that if you have the snakes people want it really won't matter whether you're well known or not. Just be sure to make it clear that you will be there for them both before and after the sale and put it in writing. That is probably the only concern buyers have with newer breeders. If you have that spelled out then I don't think you'll have a problem. If you have a place where satisfied customers can leave reviews you can also point to this as a reference once you've sold enough to have customers' opinions. Another thing you can do to gain the trust of buyers is to let them know if the sire or dam is from a well-respected lineage. Many savvy buyers know they can get a better price on lines they know are high quality by getting them from a smaller, newer breeder. (Same quality but they aren't paying for the big name). So for instance, if one of the parents came from Justin Kobylka or NERD, or Royal Constrictor Designs, be sure to include that detail in your advertising. If they want proof be prepared to show paperwork of some sort. Also, keep good records and be sure to let the buyers know how a particular baby is eating, what size, and the hatchling's weight. All this will show that you are breeding responsibly and that you want them to be as informed as possible; not just trying to get rid of the animal as quick as possible.

I did the math on a snake vs a dog and a snake would be a way better idea for a college grad in terms of price and time investment. My mom told me she will buy me a dog and pay its first year of bills (food, vet, toys, etc) after I graduate. I do not want a dog because of yearly vet visits, monthly feed costs, and I would not have the time to spend with it as a puppy if I work a full time job. Ball pythons can live up to 30 years and Kenyans can live up to 20, a dog only lives about half that. I want a pet and I know I could afford a snake much easier than I could afford a dog long term. I love dogs but as a veterinary technician I can’t in good conscious adopt an animal and not be able to give it the best care. I see that too often at my job. For example people don’t do enough research on a certain breed and can’t afford the expenses that come with the breed’s health issues so the animal suffers. Or people don’t socialize the dog/don’t teach it appropriate behavior and they opt to euthanize it for being “a bad dog”. I don’t want to become that person. I think this video kind of ties into that. Before getting any animal people need to plan out expenses for the animal’s life.

He/she will know the rules, save you on taxes, give you advice how to save more, and keep you out of jail. Someone will say I do it this way and it works just do that. Works until it doesn't if you get sideways with the tax folks. Not worth it.

Can this be done with other snakes? Like carpet pythons for example? Doesn’t seem like there’s as much interest in carpets.

Can you explain the patreon account in the way it works because I tried opening a patreon myself and I was completely lost so maybe I approached it the wrong way maybe I understood it the wrong way is there a video that you can make to help us understand snake patreon page

I can try. Basically, if you search Olympus Reptiles on patreon you will find us. To sign up, it will help you make an account
