Questions about breeding

So breeding is something I've been interested in for awhile, and it's something I want to look in to doing. Now when I say look in to doing, it's not something I'm going to start on for a least another year, so I can make sure I have all the right equipment and I'm "ready" for my first clutch. My primary question is, what do you do with the babies? I'm aware we all sell them, but to whom? I don't like the idea of selling on Craigslist because I might be breeding Boas, which can get very large and I don't want to sell to some guy who doesn't really understand how large a female BCC can get, gets her home, and 5 years later just lets her go or takes her to a shelter because she "got to big". I'm aware I can never control this, but has anyone heard of selling to pet stores? or selling over the US? How would you go about doing this, what outlet would you use to find people who are looking to purchase them? This would definitely involve shipping them, how would you do so, so it's safe for the snake?

I'm sure I'll be adding more questions to this thread, but this is just the start. I don't want to start thinking about breeding until I know I have somewhere to put them and somewhere to sell them. I'm not going in to this to turn a profit (although it wouldn't hurt). I mainly want to experience all aspects of a snakes life and know that I know what I'm doing. I want to open my own exotic pet store in the next 5-6 years so I would probably be selling out of my own shop, but knowing other ways before that time comes would be great.
