Part 5/9:

One of the most shocking revelations was James’ venture into ball python breeding. Spending around $7,000 on purchasing snakes with the intent to breed and sell seemed risky, especially given their dire financial situation. Both Tessa and the host questioned the rationale behind this investment amidst their debt struggle, labeling it akin to a “pyramid scheme.”

James tried to justify this by explaining there exists a market for more exotic snakes, but both his friend within the industry and the host painted a bleak picture of his financial acumen. With so much money already tied up in what they termed "depreciating assets," the couple seemed distracted from the harsh reality of their financial conditions.
