So who keeps paperwork....

If you did not produce it, than I would tell them such. My comment was really for animals that you produce. But, if you know that people are going to ask for it, maybe get it from the folks that you get the animal from in the first place?

Either way, got to make the customer happy as long as the request is within reason.

I agree, paperwork for a spider is a bit much.

Im actually in Tampa and was told I only needed phone numbers and names of everyone I bought my animals from....

Besides, how would asking for paperwork from the original breeder help if you were buying the animal from me?

If you do not agree with it and are determined not to do it, then do not. Just be aware that you may lose business over it.

Im not sure why you think Im determined not to do it. If you read my original question I was wondering if it was a trend in the hobby.

According to the site I got my license from you must have paperwork tracing the snake to its origin, and if you are buying from someone in Florida they must have a license or else you both violated the law. (it works different with actual bussinesses though. You also must have a licience if you are selling in Florida.

From what I understood with the breeders information, it was just name and number. What other information are you getting?

Just the tone I read in to it. But, I am not trying to make a implication either way, just saying.

Either way, I am not sure if it is trend since I recently got back in to BPs, but I think it is a good idea.

As for Florida, sounds like as like as they got paperwork from whoever last owned the snake, they should be good. But, I am not well versed in their laws.

I keep records of payment transactions, a signed document with a photo of the animal, and it's genetics. But that is only when dealing with people if Florida who are not actual bussinesses.

Well, it is a good thing I double checked the site. Looks like I need an address instead of a phone number.

Some people just like to keep detailed records for their pets. I recently had someone ask for sire/dam pictures for her $25 normal hatchling. IMO it doesn't take too much time and it may make a customer happy enough for a return visit.
