Have you tried looking at the breeders/dealers link at the top of the page. Id also go to some reptile shows if any come near you. Great way to see what people have and meet a bunch at one time. Once you open up they will find you. I have a friend whos parents own a store(not reptiles) and they recieve price lists from people from time to time.
Disclaimer: I know nothing about this, just maybe what I would do in your situation. 0% guarantee. LOL

Go find a reptile shop and work there for a while, even if you have to volunteer your time. That way you will learn the ins and outs of the business.
It is an ugly business, IMHO, and going in without prior knowledge is likely to lead to disappointment and possible financial losses. Some people are very successful, others fail and lose money. You need to know why before you jump in.
Finding distributors is the easy part. They will come running if you start showing them some money.
