No they don't! He keeps melting all the bloody mains cabling to his house by using so much juice, I'm surprised he hasn't taken out the whole neighbourhood yet  |
I have
I had builders laying my new drive, but they weren't your 'normal' builders but rather a team that were building a new warehouse for where I work, they turned up to do the job with a full size 360 JCB and dumper truck, they managed to dig out the mains that fed the whole street that was off for about 6 hours 
As for melting the main infeed, yep Twice now  the last time was the worst, we were watching TV and could smell burning, when I looked in the fuse cupboard it was like looking at a couple of sparkers going off!  We had to sit in the dark for 6 hours until they arrived (in the winter), they were great though and fixed it that night.

| Ha... wow Scott. At least you don't have water in the hundred thousand gallons range... PLUS the electrical cost like some of the aquarium keepers. |

this leads me onto the question, do reptile hobbyists [like scott] make a substantiial profit from herps?
Any one got any info on this. I dont want to know ur finantial[sp?] status but just if you do get any money back.
Thanks

Well I'm guessing if you do it as a business like Scott and others then it is treated that way. And no business goes out to not make a profit or at least get back what went in.
With the others that are keeping them as pets, well, there's no income from having a pet is there. I will hopefully get a couple of eggs every now and again from my 2 cresties but I wouldn't class that as a business it would just be a bonus on top of my hobby. |

yer I know about the pet thing thats like me just a bit of boost to breed them and that will prob go back into getting more reps.
I jus wanted the bigger breeders to tell me if they get a substantial profit asit costs a lot for all the equipment etc.
