Thought of it.

Soon I will be able to do one and not have to buy any pictures. I will own all the animals and take the photos myself.

I used to, just to keep me in a free hobby. I plan on making real money this time around. I'm in no rush, should have a nice herd producing quantity in 2 or 3 years. I'm gonna do it slow and cheap, breeding my own breeders.

Ground cat food+roaches=more roaches

Roaches+geckos=more geckos

Roaches+spiders=more spiders

Cat food=geckos/spiders

geckos/spiders=money

cat food baby, its all about the cheap cat food.

If you're looking for a good book to read, pick up "A Land Remembered" by Patrick Smith. Best book ever, anyone who has read it can vouch for it.
