Fair Enough?

I'm strictly a hobbyist, not a breeder. I just don't feel like I have the experience or know-how to start breeding my bps. However, I plan on loaning some females to a friend next year. Have any of you ever done this? What would be a fair arrangement?

I was thinking that, since he will be incubating the eggs, and taking care of the hatchlings until post-shed and post-fed, as well as handling shipping for any that are sold, maybe he should get first pick from each clutch? Or maybe a 60/40 split? Both? I dunno :confused:

i think he should get first pick because of his time, but you guys should 50/50 cost and profit

Thanks, Travis, and WHAT IS THAT in your avatar! :O A killer clown? LOL

Zombie bozo!!!!!

I agree with above. Although I lone. We do 50/50 but the owner of the Female gets first dibs usually :)

I will be breeder loaning a fire female to a buddies fire male.. So we WILL be getting BELs.. or better :D So then it gets tricky.. If we pop one bel...?

I am very inexperienced, but I would say he should definately get first pick since he is taking care of all the eggs and stuff.

50/50 split with the care-taker getting first pick for the extra work. Unless the females are bigger morphs, and there's some other arrangement, generally that's the way I would work it.

Write the deal down, signed copies. It will avoid unpleasantness later on, should someone forget or misunderstand. Having the deal in writing is the safest way to avoid fights betwen friends!

How would it work then if the females were returned after an ovulation and the eggs were incubated by the females owners? Meaning all the friend did was house her and feed her while she was breeding.

Yea I'd go for 50/50 or just pick of the litter!

There are no set rules; its whatever both parties decide on before entering the loan arrangements. Whatever both parties feel is fair for the given arrangement should be drafted up as a contract before any animals are exchanged.

I just finished a breeding loan with a member on this site and I had a great experience. We agreed in writing to split the clutch 50/50 with him getting first pick.

I think this may not be the way we end up splitting things up but its always good having a baseline in writing to revert to if any disagreements arise to what is fair.

If you're loaning females, without you, those clutches wouldn't have happened. First pick, and 50/50 is more then reasonable in my opinion.

Heres what I would do. If you are not all that interested in the babies atleast it sounds that way. If your friends breeding any kind of co dom or dom morph just get first dibs on them and keep on the the morph babies and have your friend be responsible for getting your girl back to a healthy weight. Thats just me though. Now if you do want some of the clutch for keeping or selling I would go first pick and 50/50
