Before I even started, I made contacts with a few of my local reptile shops and even a few other small pet stores. I also met a number of other breeders at some of the reptile shows. These relationships were a big help in advice as well as eventually moving any offspring I would produce. 2011 was my first year breeding and I was able to produce 33 beautiful babies. I held back 5 Pastel YB girls and was able to sell or trade the remaining 28. I deal with a few codoms, doms and recessives, and I keep detailed records of all my pairings. I like to take photos of any breeding activities so that I can provide any buyers that aren't familiar with my collections proof of genetics. I haven't put together a certificate of genetics yet, but its in the plans for this year as I've increased my number of recessive animals.
There are a few other ways of moving them as well. Shop owners may buy, trade or even hold animals on consignment for you. Faunaclassifieds.com and kingsnake.com are good places to post available animals. There's always reptile expos as well. Hope this helps give you some ideas.
