Did a lil reading up and found out that essentially without getting to detailed as long as your "in it for the money"(ie..to make a profit) as your main incentive. Your good

I like this idea, its where my thought process stands at the moment. Though if it start to take shape or if I start just supling reptiles for the pet store ill def talk with a lawyer. And my meeting for my accountant is long overdue

I guess my next questions is...Do I have to report a loss?

i would be helpful to know what hobby based businesses do you run, any in the pet industry. At what threshold did you pass for it to be considered a business and not a hobby?

As previously stated, if you do show a loss for at least 2 consecutive years out of five could cause your home-based business to be re-coded. I see more issues with small businesses and sales tax though. Many states have laws that say if you sell more than two animals in a 12 month period you...

...and yet you gave me probably the most important piece of information I wanted to know. And yes that's why I kept my comments related to taxes vague no need for unnecessary attention. What they consider a business and how large I was already planning on making my collection is more or less...

Thanks reefercheefer, I guess no one read post anymore..Throughout this thread I thoroughly explained my purpose and intent. -Money is not a problem, if I wanted I could buy a couple parons and try and real breeding venture -I have a strong work ethic unlike many people who we see come and...

Please don't worry about me I'm the least the get offended that's just a part of the "different". You all have valid points I need to weigh on. I chose this forum because of the sensitivity of chams. I keep a variety of pets and is subscribed to many different forums. I figure ill get the best...

With all of that being said I absolutely love breeding Chameleons! I would encourage anyone to give it a try at least once :D That sound like a good number I was thinking nosey be I may keep my veileds I have now. Maybe a MIT pair, and grow out my ambi pair I have now. And the passion...

Between welfare and expense, I'll say I am a little different when it comes to the pet hobby. Welfare wise I cut no corners in care and my pets get proper supplements and feedings. Expense wise, I didn't want to tell my personal business over the forums but I am getting a nice sum of money I can...

Where's the expense? Feed them Dubia, gut loaded flies, long UVB lights, and????

"Granted these are chickens not chameleons, but the needs and costs are not dissimilar." Holy cow man that sounds horrible, thank god we dont have deformed chameleons around. :eek: Ive had my share of disappointing grow out ventures. The key is having the ability to house the leftovers. With...

Not to say my sole purpose is a tax write off(but part of reason want official license)but my collection will steadily grow and I will have a variety of different pets, some of which the petstores want me to also lost thier inventory so it's a joint venture of sorts. And yes I have raised a few...

I had a recent conversation with a pop/mom type petstore owner and he inquired about online pet businesses. Anyone who has a website as a main source of selling their chams, do yall have a small business license? I am located in maryland so we don't require a permit to breed and sell nonnative...
