Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

STARTING NEW REPTILE BUSINESS!
I'm going to be starting my first reptile business soon and I would like some input as to what I should stay with. Any help is appreciated! It doesn't matter to me what kind as I love reptiles and have kept quite a few in the past, but I recently moved and we couldn't get the ranks over in a timely manner and had to sell my pets. You can reach me by PM, message on this thread, heimanalex22@gmail.com, or 402-640-9656(text preferred) thanks again

Without any further information, my best recommendation is to pursue an area that you are extremely passionate about. Do as much homework as possible, meet people who are involved with your area of interest...both online and in person, and do the right thing...even if you lose $ in the short term.

Are you trying to start a store front, or a website? Both require different marketing and business plans.

After you decide what to sell, but before you actually sell anything:
Create a good solid TOS to cover situations which may arise and decide what sort of guarantee you want to give and spell that out in the TOS
Investigate forms of payment and decide which you will accept
Give some thought to advertising
Good luck!

Alex, here's a little direction maybe it can help.
Find a species that you like a whole lot and breed them,such as bearded dragons,corn snakes or anything easy to start with stick with them and try to be the best you can be.
Avoid buying cheap imports for a quick flip, it will not benefit you in the long run.
To start you will have to work a regular job to keep the cash flowing. as your collection of breeders grows things will start to get easier as far as the enjoyment of breeding and being able to make good bucks and that will allow you to purchase more equipment such as racks and cages.
It's never easy but it can be alot of fun.

I would also like to start my own business as well, good luck to you. Me personally I've been researching as much as possible looking at animal husbandry, biology books, and researching small business in general.
Does anyone have recommendations on how to get established with boards like here or the Facebook groups? Any tips on building a solid reputation as a reptile breeder?
