from what i have seen you do not need a license to keep large quantity of reptile as long as they are all cared for properly, you do not need a any permit or any thing to sell they either just maybe a proprioters license and it seems to be *under the table* for sales unless you are like bhb the irs never has a clue you are selling anything but all laws have their changes from area to area so id ask someone already in your area look into reptile expos that are nearby would be my suggestion to get more info and good luck guys and gals hope it is successfull
