If you look on www.kingsnake.com there are some pretty interesting snakes in the "Other" Category that are not often seen in captivity.  Depending on the species many of these do not cost a fortune and come quite cheap when purchased in large groups.  Many of these are also captive bred.

I believe in having these snakes it would really help bring attention to the store and set you apart from others.

Also you could check out www.lllreptile.com I believe they do wholesale pricing and I have never once had issues with them.

Outback Reptiles (owned by Ian G). They are located in Virginia, but they are a major wholesaler and importer in the business. And also relatively cheap. Only downside is most people deal with them at shows. It's rumored that they are difficult to get ahold over via phone/e-mail.

Or you could always look up Josh's ad's on Fauna (one of Ian's workers). E-mail him, he has good customer service, and will let you know if he can help you out or not.
