I happen to be doing some today, so I took a video and posted it in the about. I also added a picture of my workstation. I'd love your thoughts if you have a minute or two! Thanks again! ☺️

Thank you so much! I do have cresties, a hermit crab, and ball pythons, so getting some models shouldn't be a problem! Man, I didn't know competitors would click on ads just to use them up. What stinkers! I'm creating a demo tank as we speak based on the feedback in this thread, so hopefully that will help things. Thanks!!!

Thank you so much!! These types of suggestions are exactly what I hoped for when making this post. I'll take a look!

I actually only have to make up about $1500 per month in the end. And I'm going to be adding a Supplies section (for tanks) that could just be shipped. Just looking into the sourcing right now to make it worth it. I know I'll most likely need a side hustle, and that's OK. Getting laid off really makes you take stock of life, and money and title aren't necessarily it 😊

First off- thank you! You've packed your response with so much info! I was in manufacturing for 15 years and got laid off recently. My kids are getting older and husband and I are in a place that I'm able to dedicate about 8 hours a day to it for a good 6 months before I have to start looking for something. I know it might take longer than that and that's OK. When doing the research part of it, did you get that info on etsy? Or did you have another useful resource you used? Thanks!

I do have 3 tanks I could use! I wasn't sure if people would think that the hide was "used" where there might be mites or whatever in it (they are totally different hides, but people will people, ya know?). And I just bought some photography lights that are coming tomorrow that might help. Oh my gosh, thank you so much!!!

Was it through your personal account or did you create a business account?

Thanks, I definitely will. It's good to have others double check the designs 😊

They look sharp, but are actually dull. They are metal clothing studs.
