If it's too good to be true....

[Jessica Loesch]

I get what you were saying but I can't see myself getting a bad rep for selling my animals at around half price or less to local stores or members of my local herp society. Reputation is something that can take a while to build, so I plan on sticking to areas where I think I can sell fairly easily. That being said, I've also put a lot of time and effort into making a website so I can expand my business in the future.

I'm also in a sticky situation where if I actually start making money selling snakes I could lose my job. I signed a non-competitive agreement when I started which basically said I can't have any other source of income so I need to make sure I only ever break even or only turn a very small profit or any profit I make I need to donate to some cause/non profit.

That's why I said UNLESS you are selling to good friends, which of course can include those in your local herp group.


Deborah is someone I would consider a mentor in all of this.. she is great.
