Did you just make that figure up jack? 22 percent of a reptile stores $ is from reptiles. its true though that 25 percent is from food and feeders but the remainding 53 percent is from various accessories and housing- I can break it down for you if you like. Its nearly the same with fish stores...
make sure you take a lot of good pictures of your work to build a portfolio!
A good friend of mine went to a school for makeup special effects and ended up with a job with the Jim Henson Creature Company! Just go for your dreams no matter what anybody tells you- whoever you are and whereever...
Where do you want to get your pets and pet supplies? at a huge corporate conglomerate or a friendly family owned business that actually might have an interest in being a part of the community because of the service they offer!
