I seen this on Kingsnake.com. Could this be true? Say: "They go up in value about 700.00 a year as they get bigger.... ". Ive read they lay several clutches of 12-15 eggs per year. So maybe 50 eggs a year per female? That would be over 50,000 a year for each breeding female. Why wouldnt everyone be doing this? I must be missing something, right? I dont know how much an adult pair of Aldabras go for but I would assume they couldnt be more than 50,000. By my calculations that's a pretty good return on investment. I am a finacial advisor and my clients would love to make 5000 a year on a 50000 investment and this would mean a 50,000 annual return on 50,000. Please set me straight.
