Constructing a craigs list ad to find a breeder

[Arachnaeoccult]

I want to establish connection with a breeder, and the best way would either be through a pet store (they've seen me come by for 3 different exotics in the past month, good to establish a rapport) or making a craigs list ad. I know the region is rife with Florida breeders; I even have a friend who knows one (said friend once owned a burmese python). I want to increase my experience, know all the little things like sexing and mating setup. I want an ad that properly expresses my serious desire to become a breeder/hobby specialist; How would you do it?

I would look on reptile specific classified sites for anyone hiring.

Also, you could do the old school way and contact the breeder directly or importer directly. It would probably show a lot more desire then posting an ad and having them seek you out.

Personally I would join breeder specific forums and find others that way. I have met some amazing breeders through faunaclassifieds.com and still chat with them every so often.

Also, you should really think about slowing down and just enjoying the snakes you have now. Get to know them and gain your own experience with their care and needs.

Good luck.
