Everyone has to start with no fauna rep or sales. Where was your first sale made? Have you given someone their first chance to start making a name for themselves?
I've been wondering how difficult it is to sell babies when you first get started breeding. I imagine if your an active forum member that will help when it comes time to sell because people get a sense of how and who you are from your posts (after a while and depending on what you post). I would think that if I could get a few sales from forum people, and they are willing to leave me feedback, that that would get the ball rolling for fauna, kingsnake, and sales from my own (future) website.
I can't breed for a few years still but just something I've been wondering. Reputation is everything in the business after all.
