where do you sell

[karls-geckos]

i was wondering where you breeders sell most of your leos. i see that most of you dont update your websites very much so it must not be a good source of sales so do most salesgo through swap meets, local pet shops, or word of mouth

I think most breeders sell them in shows and websites like kingsnake.com which advertises their website.

we've sold all our leos on line. I noticed though at the last big reptile show I went to, leos were selling like hot-cakes!

I'm a small breeder producing about 30 hatchlings a season. I sell half or more of my geckos at 2 small shows, some at a few independently owned pet stores I've checked out carefully before committing to and the rest through word of mouth. I have not yet shipped a gecko and have sold them all locally. This is my 4th season and getting off to a very slow start. I have 5 hatchlings, where last year at this time I had 15. Each year I have been sold out by January; this year I actually have people waiting for my geckos.

I was thinking of selling some of mine at a great reptile store near me, but I am afraid they wont want them because I am underage. I sell locally(California so far) and my customers always are happy and contact me from time to time of how their geckos are doing ETC. There has been discussion about bad experience with underage sales and being unsatisfied, but I have my father doing the payment stuff so customers could be sure they wont get scammed and WILL get their guarantee. I think if your not a big breeder it doesn't pay to go sell at a reptile show here in California because it costs $300 + extra stuff. I would end up in debt if I went So most breeders find a way to advertise their websites by being sponsors on bigger sites like this one and Kingsnake.com. Hope you got your answers:main_thumbsup: .

As soon as my shipping suppies arrive I will be posting in the classified section. But if someone is local they can always send me a pm or email and I will send them pics of what is availible. I am currently looking at prices for a website to be made and I found a webserver.
