    Plan B seems to be working.

    Some of you may know that the new Plan B is Mrs wc2 and her snakes.

    So far she her snakes have produced 55 eggs.

    each egg on average is worth £350.

    She is expecting to produce another 50 this year.

    The initial investment was £70,000, but most of the high end female snakes purchased were babies and will not breed until next year. Which should put the average egg price up to £650 with the expected eggs of 250

    Looking forward to becoming a kept man

    But have you actually sold any yet, or are you just eating very expensive ommlettes?

        Where do you get the figure of £350/egg from?
        When I google snake eggs I don't get anything

            Maybe he´s a monopolist.

            I do wonder how much demand there is for snakes´ eggs though.

              We have an order for £1500. The snakes in question are still in eggs. So that sale should take place in the next few months.

              Speaking to other breeders the snake market seems to be up. with the bedroom breeders looking for a way out.

              Reptile people are odd. They will :-

              not spend £100 on something they need
              spend £2000 on a snake that they do not need.

                These guys are a little on the high price so snake are worth about 10% less than his prices.

                  Do I know you? Not a reptile person myself, but have attended many a snake fair and visited other reptile types whilst driving or assisting a mate of mine who is a reptile type.
                  He is a breeder in Lancaster.
                  I am not qualified to give the above advice!

                  Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time
