[QUOTE="Austin S., post: 73173, member: 5088"] I do it to contribute to the hobby. I produce and sell stock on multiple forums. Sad I just recently signed up for this forum though.. :( You can make money yes, but do not let that consume you, because it will try. Trust me, I've been there. The thing that keeps me breeding tarantulas are the customers. For example, I recently bred balfouri. I was selling 5 for only $200 shipped. People thought it was ridiculously cheap. But, within each order, I would throw in a few extra free balfouri, or purpurea, or whatever I had, just to bring a smile to their face. There was even a purchase where I forgot a balfouri, so I shipped them, free of charge, the one balfouri, and 3 extra. To see someone's reaction to good business, is worth more to me than making a buck. If you breed tarantulas, make sure you keep that in mind. Do not make it a business. Make it an experience for you, and your customer, and make sure it is a damn good one at that. [/QUOTE]
