Selling babies, advertising, etc

[BaskingBaby]

Okay, so here I am, a proud mother of 32 babies. Still have 2 from the first clutch born 7/28 (am keeping one) and have 30 from the 2nd clutch born 9/1. They are all gorgeous and healthy. I can't believe how pretty they all are...I can't even begin to decide which ones I'll keep as holdbacks or for myself. Anyway, aside from a few petstores offering $20-$60 each, they will only buy a few at a time. I've made flyers and need to mass-print them so I can hang them around this area and in petstores. Right now I'm thinking flyers is the best way to go. I live in a college town and there are many kids here who could have dragons as pets in their apartments and there are just tons of people in this area in general. I've put one add on Faunaclassifieds, but got zero bites because I'm guessing the well-known "big shots" :lol: get most of the business on there. I'm willing to post on here if it's worth it, and I've heard Kingsnake gets good business but is pretty expensive to advertise on.

So...in a nut shell where is the best place to advertise and how should I go about doing it? I'm willing to pay a small amount to advertise, but only if it's worth it. I MIGHT be getting a booth at the Havre de Grace Reptile Show in MD next month. Ideas please!

Well, sometimes you have to actually spend money to make money. The market is so saturated with dragons, its really hard to sell a lot right now. Your best bet is to sell wholesale lots to your local petstores, set up shop at some reptile expos or put up some ads on the free reptile forums (ie. bd.org and fauna) Kingsnake gets business, but only if you are selling the more rare morphs.

There is so many people breeding dragons now a days and selling dragons for so cheap. I wish you the best in rehoming all your dragons!
