    What exactly do you mean by quick easy and with out worry? If you mean you sell the babies and never have to deal with the customer again then you are talking about selling to a wholesaler. You can hatch them out of the egg call up the wholesaler, sell them for about 25% of their retail price and never have to deal with a single customer. Wholesalers don't call you and tell you their snake won't eat or that it struck at them. The trade off is you have to be willing to sell your animals for less then wholesale because the wholesalers sell the animals (at wholesale prices) to the retailers.

    Or you can sell directly to retailers. That comes with a little more hassle than selling to wholesalers. The retailer may not want do give you wholesale price because they can get wholesale from their distrbutor already. Or they may hassel you about an animal that doesn't eat because they keep them 10 to a cage. Another option, you can sell on one of the pay to advertise sites or at a show. But, then you are out cash up front to buy the table or ads. You will also have to deal with customers and giving customer service.

    So it really is up to you what you want to do. If you want to sell your animals fast and cheap sell to a wholesaler. If you want to get what they are worth out of them sell retail.
