Wholesale makes more sense for species that produce many young. You can keep whatever you're comfortable moving on your own and wholesale the remainder for a nice little chunk of change. Another aspect of private sales is the crazy. There's a fair bit of bad and ugly to go with the good - no getting around it if you're dealing with the public. Having a reliable source you can mass sell to is definitely useful. Sometimes I need a year off from "people" and just wholesale most of my stuff and maybe sell to a few of the people who been waiting for something in particular and who've kept in contact.
