Tips For Closing Down A Reptile Breeding Business

Today, I wanted to talk about the process I used to close down my reptile business and sell off my reptiles.

I just like to say I'm going to miss your crested gecko videos. You're one of my favorite crested gecko content creators

[@Privateharvest]

I’m happy you’re leaving your videos up I like listening to you talk calmly through everything
Good luck and I hope with any business venture you take on in the future you do it with just as much care as you showed your animals

[@Sostic]

Thank you 😊

[@joshuagarcia9302]

I bought a pinstripe lily white thank you! Can’t wait to get it

[@airbearx]

First one here!! The one who bought the last two lily whites!

[@DoorsToHideBehind156]

12:24 that's a beautiful animal. Love the neon orange coloring with yellow pinstripes

You'll be missed.
Are you keeping any of them, and if so, how did you make those decisions?

[@Sostic]

I am only keeping one of my older males that I really liked

[@liss1356]

@Sostic , I've learned so much from your channel, and it's been very helpful and enlightening on if breeding is something I want to do.
I'm still on the fence as the market is very saturated and if I couldn't sell any of them, do I honestly have the space to keep them?
I'm slightly sad I didn't get a chance to purchase one of your Lillies, but I wish you nothing but the absolute best in your future goals and dreams.

@liss1356 one of my upcoming future videos might help you decide 😁

[@liss1356]

@Sostic , I'll keep an eye out for it as I have seen first hand what happens when it goes south.
I know someone with no plan who has 40 breeding pairs, no understanding of genetics, no clientele base, and over 100 babies(my last count) with more hatching.
She's trying to sell them at 3-4 grams, breeding females at 23 grams, saying that babies thrive best at 65-70 degrees, and anything over that will kill them. The list goes on.
I have no idea how she's still selling at expos.
She wants to do this full time as a business, and it makes my stomach turn.
That being said, that's why I appreciate what you do so much.

@liss1356 now that is crazy 😲

[@JiggaSchlatt]

[@Sostic]

Still working on that part, mostly marketplace

[@frankdughtank8327]

[@peytonkirgan8502]

@sosticreptiles U going to sell the your channel?

[@Sostic]

No

[@Noahhdjdndnfjf]

Very sad that you’re leaving but will you do a face reveal?

[@Sostic]

I have done one in the past on a couple occasions
