Can't speak for Deborah but in my experience:

Wholesale generally means you are selling to a company who will turn around and resell them at retail to the public. Your prices must be adjusted accordingly. I don't know about LLL but companies like this may offer you 25% of retail but they will buy all at once.

You are usually going to want to wholesale large groups of snakes to companies like this. Your costs on shipping for a small clutch will probably be more than they'd be willing pay. If you're interested in wholesaling a small group, you're better off going to one or more local pet stores. Again though, even if a small pet store is only willing to buy a single snake, they will want a wholesale price, regardless of quantity, so they can price it fairly for retail.

You may have an individual who offers to buy them all and wholesale prices are in order here as well due to the quantity, regardless of if they are reselling at retail. Most of my supplies are purchased at wholesale rates because the quantity is actually more than most retail pet stores purchase and the vendors could care less that I'm not reselling it... in fact, sometimes it gets me a better price.
