Not always. It depends on how much money you are making and how much is tied up in your reptile breeding operation....and various other factors.

Hobby or business......good read from the IRS

Thanks Daniel, that is a good link. So I guess I will be raising and breeding for pure fun and as a hobby (my initial intentions). And it is legal to sell some here and there (as long as they are not being shipped, in which I would obtain cert). But eventually I would want to set up a site to show off what I have and put certain babies and such up for sale... so with that in mind do you think I should aquire a business license? Is there anyone here with a website and that is selling who technically does not own a business?

Florida has all sorts of permits that may or may not be required for owning and/or selling reptiles. Check the FFW site.
