For hobby breeder it's mainly for fun. I wouldn't expect to make a profit. In fact when I use to breed my veiled I usually lost money. If you haven't breed before you would have to buy everything and just guessing for all the baby containers, lights feeders and so forth $1000 to $1500 and veiled can lay a large clutch and those babies can eat. They can also lay a retained clutch 30 to 60 days after the first so you are looking at 100 babies or so. I'd also have some extra saved up for vet bills.
