So where did you get your start?

Very interesting thread for me as I'm in the same boat as others here. expecting to produce my first clutches this year, mostly single gene to normal pairing, along with some visual to het albino pairings. My plan so far has been to just get a table at the local monthly show and see how it goes. Like others, I have a couple guys who are in the industry, so to speak, that are giving me some good advise.

The first clutch I produced all died, since I had absolutely no idea what I was doing back then. My second clutch I knew better and decided to use an incubator instead of letting the eggs stay with the female. Unfortunately the incubator wasn't setup properly, and only 1 egg hatched. the snake was very dehydrated, but after a couple days managed to plump up just fine I actually gave it away for free.

My first clutch I didn't use and incubator and I didn't leave the eggs with the momma. All 5 eggs hatched . That said momma is locking up with a vanilla pastel as of right now then he will go to my other normal female. So I hopefully I'll have two clutches this year. I haven't messed with shipping yet but have taken a baby a few hours drive away before. I should probably look into shipping.

My first clutch will be all 100% het pied. What's the best way to prove to a customer they are 100% and give them piece of mind?

Paperwork (though this is only good if it comes from someone you trust since paperwork can be fabricated), excellent customer service, and a great reputation.

It may be hard to sell hets without a good selling rep to back you up. All you can do is try.

I started wit receiving rescues ( locally) and trying to rehome them after a set time to make sure they were all healthy and eating well. (this led to me meeting my wife on here) But I also did a few trades when I produced my first clutch of Pieds and hets. I believe it all based on trust and such....
