All profit...though it's still taxed :( Just gotta be smart about investments: I keep pythons that require about $500 worth of rabbits a year to eat and can produce up to or over 80 eggs each year. Even if they are nothing special, with an average sized new clutch being 20-35 eggs, that's still more than $1500 each clutch. As long as they go to good homes, I'm not greedy. You sure are a "Trip", man! :thumbsup:
