Thank you for this this is my first season breeding I am 19 years old and for my collection I invited in a lot of recessive gene. I love your videos and I’m excited for this series.

Right now I am just a guy with 3 snakes, but I've just got my first rack and incubator and I can't wait to get goin! Thanks for the videos man really helpful stuff 👊

You might not see this but I love your channel and I was in Manhattan reptile world last week. I liked the zoo a lot and for the price was well worth it. Loved seeing all the rattlesnakes and speedy

This is like the perfect series for me! Thanks!

Can't wait for this been saying there should be a series like this for ages go on matt love all your stuff mate keep at it 👌👊

I'm envious of successful breeders/ business owners. It shows they have a goal and nothing could stop them from achieving it. It's seeing and learning from others that is the inspiration for me to not give up on my dreams. Keep doing what ya do and make those pennies rain lol 😆 💜. Love you guys keep up the A+ work.

Thank you for addressing this subject! I can't wait for this series! I haven't seen anyone else go so in-depth about the business side.

We've been breeding for a few seasons now and we are really trying to make this at least one of our's full time job...down the road. We still have full time day jobs. It's a lot of work. I appreciate you taking the time out to make a video like this. Some KZfaqrs and breeders make it seem like it's very lucrative. And it can be nice to finally sell that one for a good amount of money. But that is not daily. Thanks so much for making this video. Even with all the hard work, it's worth it. Animals are amazing. :)

OMG! When he yells about breeding in your fucking apartment!!!!!! I literally busted out laughing!

Great video thank you have a good night

It's just like doing reef tanks always want another one

Hey guys, wanted to let you know that I heard about this video from someone on the morphmarket.com community forums. I'm not a ball python guy; I mostly keep colubrids and a few boas, but I sat here and watched your videos for about 90 minutes. I'm not new to keeping by any means, but I have struggle with some of the business aspects, and I wanted to thank you for taking the time to post this series. I actually got away from breeding for a couple of years and now I"m about to start having more babies available so I'm in the process of setting up a website and trying to be more active on youtube, fb, insta, etc.. I love what you're doing keep it up. The patreon was a genius idea and I'm glad it's helping you to further your passion.

What's up brother great content it helping alot as my bestfriend and I are just getting into the hobby. We greatly enjoy the bluntness of your content at times lol. So from a fellow mid westner keep up the good work

As a person who is getting started in the snake business (Boas) though and then a few years down the road hopefully start a hognose project up. This series definitely has my attention!

I cant wait for this series, I'm hoping to learn a bunch.

Great great video awesome channel we are a small breeding facility fish reptiles and now ball pythons. 😀 and Great job

Ive been discussing this with my boss at my daily job and few breeders im purchasing from collecting higher end ball pythons a snake at a time i also started breeding my snakes food cutting huge costs and i know what my snakes are eating at all times an fresh im way excited to watch this series this been on my mind constantly i started in mind set to grow this into a third income to eventually help and something of my own plus i luv this community and industry i see opportunity be apart of it learn an eventually become successful i watch daily vlogs of many top guys you an kurt included just to sponge up the free knowledge an to avoid mistakes as much as possible cant wait great video!!!

Awesome idea!

What a beautiful carpet python! Just stunning!

Love this series, I already know there will be a stellar amount of phenomenal info for any aspiring breeder/business owner!

Thank you so much for making this amazing series. Totally enjoy this video and have moved all of the other ones in your business series to its own playlist on my channel. Don’t worry my videos are Private I’m not trying to steal your content. I can’t wait to work my way through them all. It’s better than a Netflix binge😂. I would love to talk to you more at sometime although I recognise that you must be a busy guy. I have a specific situation and would love to start up a reptile business I don’t wanna be a millionaire like Brian, but it would be nice to get to the stage where I can get enough income just to get by. Take care I’m away to start the rest of the videos now👍👍

I wont be breeding for another year or two but this is all info that is really good to have now before I have any clutches. So glad to get extra alerts on this stuff by joining your patreon too so I don't miss any videos.

LOVE this series! Glad you are doing it!

Iv been talking to a few BP breeders and they say they make millions but they never showed me their bank accounts

Great topic, looking forward for this series :) Its my dream to have my own breeding business some years in the future. Im still a student and didnt have the room, neither the money to start off yet. As soon as i moved out of my parents house i got me my first ever pet snake, soon followed by a second one. Always wanted to work with animals and turn that into my job. Just inhaled all the knowledge about the species and the genetic aspects and now simply plan ahead which morphs i like the best and which projects i want to turn into reality. Thank you for intruducing us new enthusiasts into this awesome hobby and provide us with great content to be succesful, too :D really appreciate that

Very excited for this series!

Great video mate 👌 it’s mad aswell, I’ve started on 3 snakes and now I’m thinking of starting a breeding business in the uk

Great video.

Sooooooooo close to 50k 👌

Subscribed. I am very interested in this series as I am a hobbyist who is looking to breed BPs on the side. Currently have about 17 animals half male and females. I just received my second TGR rack as well. I will be doing this all out of a spare bedroom in my condo😩

Great idea, looking forward to the rest of the series.

That’s exactly how it started for me. I got my first ball python because I wanted to get over my fear of snakes. Now I have 11 balls and a boa and adding a second boa here soon. I had my first ovulation recently and will get either slugs or a few good eggs from my girl! Thanks for keeping it real with everyone

Nice video!

You're so cool. Thank you for all the great info. I look forward to the whole series🖤

will follow this series this is what i like to watch when it comes to ball python as i was thinking of doing this, aiming for a certain morph combination really need to sell other hatchlings that i think will not help me to the morph i want. tho still dont have a ball python XD still watching vids from youtube to learn more and avoid common mistakes.

Love this, great content as always!

you say plan, and here i am, planning for 7-8 years in the future to be breeding boas and potentially pythons. maybe a bit overkill to plan this far ahead but ehhhh hopefully it works lmao

This doesn't pertain to me but I still find it entertaining to have you on your soap box preaching

Awesome video I know I just started this year. I was going to do a video on that subject. Of the different ways you can start up. I can't wait to watch your videos. Keep up the good work Haters will be everywhere that is life. Like you said just ignore them. They're not important. Can't wait to see your series.

Good , this is needed.

Great stuff, you’ve been my go to for the past few days. Trying to get a little thing going for my girlfriend and I “for the money definitely” as well as the hobby and it sounds like you know what’s up🤘🏼

Great video. Love the business information. I keep oddball reptiles and am looking into balls. partially because they are easier to breathe than some of the reptiles I work with and there are some gorgeous morphs

Finally someone is saying things that matter

Love the new series man! I'm coming up on my first season in the fall. Several of my 12 females will be ready and some are close and might need to wait. I've been thinking about these upcoming topics a lot over the last year so I'm excited to hear your advice.

Man that is a beautiful snake! I’m not into the bright colors but prefer the darker color snakes but Matt that is beautiful bro👌🏾

I am interested in the going legit portion. A lot of people in my area are keeping things under the table. Makes me worried. I'm glad I have only been keeping a few years and haven't produced yet.

thank you for making this man i cant wait to see the rest of this series and can you do a video on finding mentors for venomous keeping? as well as where to find the laws of said keeping in your state

Flexing! Lmao love your content

I have a question: I have a different popular breed of snake and I have a decent male and a pretty decent female and one female that is just normal. These are all young and the question I want to pose to you is, my next acquisition should be a better male or an exceptional female? I am assuming that you will say definitely a female. Thank you and all who have input. Your opinion is valued and your videos are definitely the best.

Good topic.

I just signed a lease in pet-friendly housing so I can raise up a breeding pair of hognoses. Hiding a couple snakes is risky business, but it's been done. Trying to hide 50+ snakes, however, does not end well.

Will you be discussing KZfaq and Patreon and whether or not you'd be where you are now with the business if it wasn't for those two mediums?

I have one BP at the moment but looking at more. Mins is a female pinstripe breeding weight but holding off till I have incubator and hatchling rack.

What is my first snake was a lavender albino retoc I got 2 years ago Im new to breeding I do have 19 retics now 11 burms 14 boas and 33ball pythons and I’m 13 years old I don’t know what to think about my best friend is also my Asian water moniter

Man that carpet python is gorgeous! Thanks for the info, looking for supplemental retirement income but nothing crazy. I already breed Panther Chameleons, fairly successfully so transitioning to snakes should be similar. Also previous experience running a business, although in construction, the basic principles and customer service are the same. My weakness is time and patience for social media. I would actually rather clean rat tubs than do computer work, lol.

Yer all a bunch of snake pimps haha. Just kidding I love this channel and have been into snakes for a long time. Can't wait to see the rest of these videos, keep up the good work.

That's quite a flex :')

Very Intersting, don't on being a snake breeder, but very cool to know!

Did you end up breeding that beautiful Jungle Jag your first snake?? I know a while back you where going to. Where on this planet can you find one just like him or pretty close??!!! Great show again. Let me know.

Can you do a video on the Hoffman Gene ball python and what it can do to other genes and what it can produce does it have any deformation indigene if you cross two of them together? Cuz the Hoffman ball python Gene with a Calico look beautiful it really intensifies the color for sure

Very excited to see where this series goes! Currently in Iraq on a deployment, but I really want to get back into the ball python market when I get home! My question is, how many hours are you putting in every day? I will be working, and going to college. I want to make sure Its manageable. Thank you so much!

Awesome content Matt!! Can you go over how to rent a facility for your snake breeding business? Seems like there are a lot of roadblocks and restrictions on places that allow this. Keep up the great videos!

Can you make this into a playlist please

if you been doing this for a good 6 years like i have i did made a decent amount of money at the point it helped me pay off my student loans BUT the other half pretty much want right back to the care of my snakes and rats. You need to be really smart on how to sell of course you need to know how to talk to people with respect it will go long way and you must have a PASSION.

i don't want to get rich, i just want to be self sufficient.

I'd love to do this but I think I'm just going to stick to being a hobbyist maybe breeding some stuff here and ther

I missed the black pastel update. Could you tell me which video it is?

ADD/ADHD just means you are being you... And we get more videos! 1 corn snake... March 10th 2019... Now own 13 balls and 3 corns... 2 more in hold via payment plan at local store... 2 females with visual locks... Heh... Addicted and passion has been born...

Hey I know you have a serious love for the spider gene, could you look at my photo and tell me what morph I have. The breeder said she’s a pewter bee but she looks different to pictures I’ve seen of them. I would like to know so I can plan what to breed her too when she’s up too size. Great video by the way.

I know ball pythons are your main thing but will you do vids talking bout other species for this series. Like good investment genes or species to get into.

Where can I find the rest of this series? I don’t see a playlist. Is this the only video?

I watch a your videos. Love your content. PLEASE talk louder! I'm killing myself to hear what you say way to often. And I don't want to miss a thing. Please?

what point did you start(if you did, power to you if you didn't) reporting it on your taxes? Does Morph market report your account to the IRS? asking for a friend......

i have a hard time trusting any breeders because either there are babies that are expensive or adults that are half dead to be honest so if any one has suggestions please tell me

Flipping?

Just curious, where are you located?

Im all ears btw have you ever had any trouble breeding cinnamon to cinnamon

1

Question what u think a good ratio of rats I got roughly 18 breeder fem bout 25 all tog

Do you pay taxes for your business?

Do you need a business license to breed and sell reptiles?

I have ADHD too, haha

You have been my mentor from the beginning! We have sold out of our first year dooing this! dehartreotiledesign.com thanks you!

You own 1, 2 or 18 snakes... There is no in between... Lmao!

Please don't break the law because that creates another news story. "Over 50 guns, drugs and hundreds of snakes removed from home after cps visit.." doesn't shed good light to the general public. Side note: keeping my snakes in racks has been a great way to look really into organization in the eyes of others.
