I think your best bet would be to take a couple business courses at your local community college. You will not learn everything you need to know here on how to effectively, efficiently and legally run your business. I would suggest taking a business law course for sure. Doing business/shipping intrastate vs. interstate makes you vulnerable to different laws/regulations. Also, if you run a breeding facility out of your house, you DO need to pay taxes. If you occassionally sell a snake or two, it is no big deal. BUT the last thing you want is the IRS or Animal Services knocking down your door due to backed taxes or lack of proper certifications/licenses. You can also look at SBA.gov. This website has all the info you need.
