If you're getting into breeding reptiles, it is always a smart idea to research before you start. You don't want to set up several pairs of geckos, lizards, snakes, etc, and not have a means to sell the offspring.
Many people try selling locally to various pet shops or even on Craigslist.
I have had much better luck with finding good homes for my offspring via online sources.
Fauna Classifieds and Kingsnake are probably my two favorite places to post ads. Fauna is free to post, but with a purchased account, you have more options and features. Kingsnake is a purchased account no matter how you go about it. I've had luck on both, so I recommend posting on both reptile sites.
Other places to post ads include reptile forums. Geckoforums and Pangea Forum are great places to post geckos for sale, but you may consider Tortoise Forums for selling turtles and tortoises. There are many different forums thaty ou may want to try, and you'll find that if you can find more specific forums to post reptiles that you have available. Basically, it wouldn't be a good idea to post geckos on a frog forum and hope for as good of a result with posting on a gecko forum.
I have not tried, but I have heard of a few keepers using Reptile Auctions to sell their reptiles and amphibians.
