Been wondering, and have asked questions along the way. Now very interested on what steps to take to sell a few geckos. This is a hobby for me, by know means will this turn into a full time job (got one of them already). Space is limited and there are certain morphs I would like to produce my self. So the other babies I would like to pay my electric bill, feeder, and cleaning costs.
I have seen most ways for selling reptiles, pet stores, shows, websites to people or other breeders. The questions i now have are what is needed to start the process.
So hear are a few questions that really stick in my head right off the bat.
Do you need a license to sell your reptiles? TO A: Show / internet / pet store
Do I have to worry about being audited? When does "the tax man" start wanting some of my money.
What are the steps you go through for a smooth delivery of a reptile sold over internet (money transfer... reptile.. box .. ship .. delivered all in 24-48 hours)
What went wrong??? How bad was it??? How did it affect you???
Everyone talks about the good times or how fun it is what a great hobby. What is the worst thing that's happened to you from the hobby?
Think those are the main ones. Just want to know because this year I know im going to have around 12 babies and I cant keep them all. There are a few shows in my area but I don't want to go into them blind. So just want to know what I will need.
