Thanks for all the opinions!

Yeah, I'm looking at doing it on a REALLY small scale (around half a dozen pairs max - nothing like SR!!!)

We are really skint at the moment, and I am wondering whether down the track I could cover the costs of my snake-keeping and build up a bit more of a collection by breeding, or whether it will cost me more than I could make out of it! I would be more than happy for any profit to go into more herps!

It's just that I've heard a few people saying that "there is no money to be made by breeding" etc etc and it doesn't seem feasible that you can't make ANY money out of it - I mean even if you only get half a dozen successful Stimmie hatchies to sell, you can afford to buy plenty of goodies - and all you have shelled out is for an incubator, a few pinkie mice, a heat cord and some takeaway containers!!!
