I'm not trying to bash or be mean, but I'm hoping you understand where I'm coming from.
I was directed here by my friend laughing about Chamsters posts again.
So, because I'm being nice ...
Julirs said:Cost of raising 69 baby Veileds...
OK-these guys started hatching 07/08 and hatched for 10 days. 1 died early on after it's tongue appeared to get stuck on something, but all 68 others are still alive at 5 months of age. I still have 13 of them. Here is the cost breakdown...
3 plastic totes @ $7.99 each $23.97
15 rolls of papertowels @ $1.59 $23.85
1 48" Lowes flourescent bulb holder $9.00
1 48" Zoomed UVB $13.99
6 plastic plants @ $4.50 $27.00
3 clamp lamps @ $7.00 $21.00 Total $118.81
Feeders: Lucky Lure orders on the following dates @45.00 each (This includes crickets for adults...)
6/4, 6/17, 6/30, 7/7, 7/15, 7/20, 8/3, 8/14, 8/26 Total $405
From Ghanns
9/21 @ $45.95
10/2 @ $55.65 Total $101.60
From Lazy H Total $279.00
Snail Tail Fruit Flies
$19.91+$19.85 Total $39.76
Shipping supplies (Boxes, shipping cups, cold and heat packs)
I am going to take a guess at this...
(I got off easy here-someone gave me a bunch of stuff) Total $100.00
I am not including electricty, supplements, or the gas it took me to drive home from work to ship these guys out from work when gas was $4.00 a gallon!
TOTAL $1044.17
Maybe later I will make this even more scary by seeing how much I made off of them-I can tell you it isn't much!
