maybe you could open a store, but do most of your business online? im planning on having a store but also doing sales online as well. the city i live in is pretty populated, but im not expecting to get alot of people in the store all the time, thats why im planning to open before christmas to help jump start my sales ;)

and i agree, ignorant people buying animals should be illegal! lol. im going to try and give each new owner a checklist of supplies they will need first before buying the animal, this way maybe it will be motivation enough for them to do some research or ask questions. i also want my website to be informational so any new owners buying from there will have the resources they need without having to google it and get a whole bunch of false information.

oh, and im getting an associates in business administration btw ;)

I was thinking that but as I continued to really think about it, I think your business would have to be breeding a specific animal for that to jump start. And then not to mention you gotta get your head out there at expos and such. But it is a great idea, I would only ship merchandise for the most part then, I hate shipping animals. But yes that was my idea also! You give them a good idea of what the animal is, where they are from, the age, what they need and what kind of habitat is appropriate. Along with how much time you should spend caring for it and all of that.

Ha this just gets weirder and weirder :p

well, i already have a few breeder friends lined up to help me out with getting home bred animals, mostly leopard and crested geckos, pythons and chameleons and bearded dragons. those are the basics :p but once i get the store open, i plan on having a huge back room with other animals as well. the more i can breed, the less i have to buy from a wholesaler, the better. i also plan on breeding lots of feeders to help cut costs and make a profit at the same time.

and i agree, i dont like shipping animals either, i may just put up marchandise for online sales as well. and along with having supplies, i also want reptile themed merchandise, like t-shirts and stuff. that stuff is soo hard to find!

haha indeed ;) its almost like were twins! o_O haha jk..that would be a little too wierd... :p

That is the advantage you would have over me. I don't have that, I can breed if I want to, but I want to purchase a couple more chameleons before I do that. At least another pair to breed. As far a Leos I can start breeding this year. Maybe in February at the latest. And I will be able to breed beardies too. A lot of work though breeding all of them. Feeders I am working on breeding crickets and supers now, I already have my roaches going so that will be no problem.

But yeah I agree, I rather do that stuff online and especially with how many things are online now it won't be difficult.

I know! :D Or would it... ;):p:D lol

You wanna know what I am high off of...LIFE lol

Im 20 and only started drinking a tiny amount once in awhile, normally a beer or two during the Packers game :D or special events. Not big on feeling like crap in the morning for a few hours of fun. Rather enjoy life without the headache.
