Too late entering the hobby?

[Eric Alan]

Just the two people I was hoping to hear from. Thanks guys.

You're very welcome.

... I'm starting out with single and double gene stuff, but the trick imo will be getting my name out there and illustrating to everyone how much I love these animals. In other words, a good website and getting to every reptile show I can! Lol.. does that sound like the right path to take?

I've learned that all of these things can happen both organically and with the amount of effort you put into them. Yes, I have a website and a FB page, and they help, but I've never vended at a show. I didn't have either of those things at the beginning of last year. I also don't have nearly the decades of experience that others have (far from it!). What I do hang my hat on is being able to take something away from everyone I meet, no matter how brief the interaction. I make sure to do the same for others - when people take something from me, no matter what it is, I make sure that they get the good stuff. That's what people remember.
