A theme that came up a few times in this interview was to do your own thing. This is the cornerstone of being an entrepreneur.  It is so important that we will be touching on it from many angles. If you want to be a breeder, actually, if you want to do anything, concentrate on producing the healthiest reptile you can. That never goes out of style. Be patient. It takes years to build up the reputation and the experience that earns you a waiting list to buy everything you can produce. Don’t try and short cut the process. I know it appears easy to memorize everything on social media and feel like you know it all. But breeding reptiles is still deep into being an art. Enjoy building your experience and make the most of your time by gathering information and testing it out. That is how you make it yours. And then, after at least one full generation of raising adults, breeding, hatching, and raising the babies up to adults, you are ready to get your feet in the door. If you don’t try and take the easy route of impressing people when you start then your reputation won’t have to recover when you finally get that experience and are the real deal yourself.
