Life & Work with Doug Day of Phoenix / Scottsdale

Today we’d like to introduce you to Doug Day.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
30+ years of highs and lows. Some years you stay in the hobby because it’s in your soul and you make nothing for money, but grow with each hatchling you create. Other years you make up for the money lost the years before. This industry isn’t for the faint of heart, if it’s not part of you, then don’t do it period. Life is a struggle, however it’s better when your doing something you love.

As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I create beautiful animals. This is my canvas and paint.
I’m known for creating healthy strong Ball Pythons.
I specialize in the creation of different morphs and patterns of those Ball Pythons.
I’m most proud of all the years I’ve been able too spend with these amazing animals.
The only thing that really sets me apart from other breeders is the time I’ve spent with each and everyone of these animals thanks to my wonderful wife.

Is there any advice you’d like to share with our readers who might just be starting out?
If you don’t love the animals and your just in it for the money?!
FIND SOMETHING ELSE! THIS ISN’T FOR YOU!
I new from the beginning it wouldn’t be easy, loved it from the beginning and love it now. You keep that and you’ll never change. From a pair to hundreds. Love is love
