Sorry mate, you are on a major loser there.
It is wrong on so many levels It would take too long to explain.
Buy Vitticeps - you will return much quicker and easier and build your collection better from there.

A word of warning... I'm not going to harp on about scrubs as I've only just got one, and can't stand people who think they're experts after a few weeks... But... you're looking at $500+ for hatchies, and 2 metre scrubs aren't gonna be worth a whole lot more. People will pay good money for decent looking babies, or relatively well behaved adults. URS had a 2 metre scrub for sale a few months ago for $500. Take into account the amount of food they eat, your electricity costs, water, time, enclosure costs, thermostats, heat mats or cords... I'd say you're business will be soon running in the red.
Penultimately, buying animals where you're only intention is to profit off them (without putting in the hard work raising them, breeding them, and hatching them) might not score you many points among a croud of people who are so passionate about their animals.
And finally, why on earth would you choose scrubs? So much work, with not a whole lot of demand for them???
Austy.

In my opinion Scrubs are not something to rush into... do you have the experience to deal with them? or the time for that matter?
Unless Scrubs as something that you are extremely passionate about and are willing to put the time into at every given opportunity then i would be steering clear of them... they will be more trouble than they are worth for you. I believe there are too many people out there that rush in to buying scrubs with out thinking about the future of the snake. Have you thought of where you are going to put these scrubbies when they are 15 foot if you can't sell them?
Not trying to get stuck into you mate... just a few things to think about.
Cheers,
Misky

maybe a coastal or diamond to start with.
then in years to come once you have learnt about caring feeding etc then go
for the bigger pythons but am with Ad one this one and i will grab my popcorn and ill even bring the beers
