Particularly with snakes… https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perverse_incentive

Wikipedia says the snakes lay between 12-36 eggs, are capable of asexual reproduction when without a mate, and can reach over 2m in length within a year. Seems like a bunch of characteristics which would make farming them a straightforward affair. Less certain about the diet of feeding a clutch of snakes, but really seems like a business opportunity for the entrepreneur.
I though the same but what's the pay for killing them and what's the cost of feeding them so they get that big?
