How to get rid of baby dragons?

For those of you that make a living off of bearded dragons.. how do you do it?
How do you find people to buy enough dragons to actually make it worth doing at all? Do retail suppliers buy from private breeders?

Just curious. I haven't bred any of my dragons, but if I do, I'd like to have a better grasp of what other people are doing to keep themselves from having tons of babies with no one to sell them to.

Also, I'm talking more along the lines of whole selling normal dragons. I can post an add for a translucent on this very website, and have it fly out the window, but i'm more interested in how you move the plain ol guys out the door.

I sell my normal off-spring to my locally owned pet store & at shows. Not everyone wants a high dollar bearded dragon, some want the normals.

If you start off in this "business" looking to make money, then this is not the business for you. I can count on one hand the number of people I know that make a really nice living off of breeding bearded dragons. The overhead costs of breeding dragons safely, efficiently, and ethically is massive, and recouping that cost through the sales of baby dragons is no easy task. Ask any of those real successful livelihood breeders, it takes a looooooong time to get there. A lot of your success as a small breeder depends on your location. Take my location for example - I live in Raleigh, NC. There are SEVERAL big name breeders in the immediate area - - - Carolina Classic Dragons, Carolina Designer Dragons, and a few others. Market is saturated for local sales, so if I were to breed dragons on some large scale, I'd probably have to hone my marketing skills and sales strategy a little and be creative. As my good friend Dave Freeman has told me (Carolina Classic Dragons), there's plenty of room for everyone, plenty of customers to go around. Consider your target audience before you start breeding, that would help an awful lot. Melissa is right, not everyone wants a $500 dragon. Just think about what your ultimate goal is. Good luck! :-)
