Do you care who you sell to?

No youre right thats not always the case, but i would generally tend to agree with what he is saying. People who buy a ferrari or a porsche usually take care of it better than if they were to buy an 88 corolla.

It all depends on the person, not the price! If you don't want to ship an animal below a certain price, that is completely up to you! There are no rules that say you have to ship any animal regardless of price. You can sell in whichever way makes you most comfortable.

I have never asked how a person was going to care for a snake they were buying online but I have refused to sell to locals who share with me how unprepared they are to care for one.

I should be ashamed it took me a few seconds to get it, but after i did.... lmao!

Believe it or not, some people take offence when you ask them if the snake they are about to purchase is their first, or they know how to care for it effectively *cough* ..Liv.. *cough, cough*

Lol...

I have never been asked anything by any of the people I have purchased snakes from. But on the flip side, I probably come into the deal with enough of my own questions that the seller knows I have a clue.

I don't sell any BPs yet, but when I do, a care sheet will be included with every single snake.

Personally, I think a lot of the issues we see with poorly cared for animals are due to lack of information.

I mean, nobody buys an animal thinking to themselves "Gee, I want this thing to have a miserable life."

So, hopefully including a care-sheet would help with that. Include a phone number and return policy.

Encourage questions from the buyer and ask plenty of them as well to make sure the BP has a good home.

That's my strategy, but I'll probably be adding more components as I learn more.

Whose care sheet?

90% of the ones out there are imo outdated and wrong.
Do I write my own with my knowledge of care or do I pass on someone else's poorly written care sheet.
There is many many ways to care for ball pythons, who is to say my way jives with other peoples ways?

Many new people to the hobby throw ball pythons into tanks.
In my opinion tanks are for fish not nocturnal snakes that need good humidity.
Do I tell people this or?
That's just one example...

Be careful what you push on others :gj:
