is it possible to make a living out of breeding corn snakes?
or would it be more feesable to need to breed other, more expensive reptiles too.

been thinking about it, just as an idea i dont think ill be trying anything lol.
Just wondered if anyone does it?

I guess id have to think about who id sell the hatchies to, pet shops probably, and then have to think about keeping a lot of breeding pairs in the most economical way, and about getting the high end morphs that sell for a little bit more.


any advice from breeders?

Corn snakes, no. Well, if you're producing top of the line, high demand morphs maybe, one a large scale. But other than that, you'll often struggle to break even.
I believe there is good money in Ball Python morphs currently, but the intial outlay can be astronomical to get some nice morphs in.

Also, not a breeder, but plenty of friends who are :>
