Where to begin?

[Reptilian]

Hi all-

A friend and I are looking to start a reptile rescue. I'd like to start right away but know that isn't an option at the moment with funds. We'd like to go non-profit and such.

I was just curious, where does one begin? I mean right now I could take in 1 animal maybe 2 as long as I have people who are looking to adopt.

I just want to know for all who are out there, where do you exactly begin? I know to save money, we're in the process of setting up an account for that. But we want to do things legit and legal and stuff. If someone could PM me or reply that would be great!

EDIT:

We are starting a website, right now just stating our purpose. And plan on making money by selling t-shirts....

well i would get cages/racks setup before taking in any herps, you may get busy real fast. WHats the link to your site? Once you officially get started i would def buy a shirt!

Maybe get an address book started of people who are willing/ looking to adopt a snake that needs help

right now we don't have a site

One will be done very soon though. I'll see if I can make a poll or something, I have a few t-shirt ideas of anyone can draw and would like to help a good cause. PM me.
