[QUOTE="xp29, post: 2031362, member: 114539"] I'm a little late to this thread, but i agree with Rocky2022 and Claudiusx, trying to breed as a source of income is a major undertaking. I'm not sure one person could cover all the work involved. I have 5 beardies now and that is a TON of work. 3 are female at an average of just 2 clutches of 25 eggs that 150 babies per year, and I'm very likely being conservative. I'm very much against housing clutches of babies together because of nips. That means upto 75ish nursery tanks if all 3 clutch at once. Probably 1000 crickets per week (again likely conservative) as you can see, even breeding as a hobby is money and time intensive. I didn't even mention the shelving units, lights, decor, vet bills , cleaning supplies, just the cleaning itself. I'm going to breed because i love beardies but only as a hobby so the 5 i have allows me to test the water. I based my assessment off of my 5, as a business it would be like Claudiusx said, dozens of breeding pairs. At 2 dozen pairs, thats 21 times more of everything i mentioned. It would take all those pairs to avoid line/inbreeding (which I'm personally against) I'm not trying to discourage you in any way, but to be a business model you would also need staff which is a whole other can of worms. It would be a HUGE undertaking and investment. [/QUOTE]
