    In those two years, participate in forums, help new herpers when you can, let folks get to know you on the forums. Then, when you have babies, you've built a reputation for being helpful and a good keeper. You are able to advertise here in our classifieds, and there are other classifieds available as well.

    But as someone else said - be willing to keep all that you produce, there's no guarantee that you'll sell everything.

    I don't generally sell my normal males that I produce. I personally keep an eye out here on the forums when someone new might mention that they are looking for a new snake and offer a well started male to them at no cost, other than shipping, and I also check my local Craigslist for people who might be looking for their first snake, and contact them and talk to them about what they've done to prepare, and if I feel they're ready - I let them come over and pick out their new baby.

    Had a really nice couple who ended up adopting two of my normal males I produced this year. They came to pick one and the husband and wife each fell in love with a different one. They told me who they wanted, and then waited another week or two to get them, until after their Ranco thermostat came in, and their tubs were set up and temps stabilized. They are head over heels in love with their boys, and took me out for dinner a few weeks later as a thank you. Although knowing my boys are in a home that loves them and will take great care of them is thanks enough for me!

    I love being able to help a new herper get into the hobby with a nice well started male (especially for a new herper who just wants a nice snake, and isn't particular about sex).

    Everyone has covered most everything (and they've given some great advice IMO), but I do want to add this:

    webs.com allows you to make a free website. It doesn't cost anything to create your pages, and it's very user-friendly for the computer-illiterate among us (myself included ;)). It's good place to advertise. It won't let you have a custom domain name unless you purchase one, but it will give you a domain like yoursite.webs.com or something. You might be able to use that as well to showcase your for-sale reptiles.

    Best of luck with your breeding endeavors!

    Just go on many forums. kijiji, graigslist and here! Also you can give them away and they will go fast if it's the last resort and you can't afford to take care of them all! I know others have suggested these but I am just giving my option of the best ones that I think! You can always get rid of them!!!
