I know many people are against breeding loans, and if you are go ahead and state your reasoning why. No need to be rude though, I understand the risks involved and am looking for feedback on my contract. If you think I should add/change/remove anything please let me know what and why you think that.



I, Leslie *****, will hand over my male hypo hog island boa (hypo bci x hog island bci) AKA KENAI to James ****** by December 1st 2013 as a temporary breeding loan for his normal Columbian bci female.

Kenai is a docile boa, but if for any reason James is injured by my snake, I am not held liable.

James guarantees that his female is 100% healthy. If that turns out not to be true and Kenai contracts a disease or illness from the female then James will be held liable. This includes illnesses such as IBD and other contagions. This does not include things such as tumors or abscesses as they are not contagions.

I guarantee that Kenai is 100% male. I guarantee his genetics. I guarantee that Kenai is 100% healthy, with no illnesses or diseases, and has no mites. He has no scarring on his body and sheds in one full perfect piece every time.

If Kenai were to become ill or injured because of lack of care or neglect then James will be held liable. This includes burns from an uncontrolled heat source. If Kenai were to contract mites while in James’s care then I will provide the correct medication and instructions.

James will be in control of the breeding, and while Kenai is not with the female he will be provided proper caging, heating, feeding and cleaning.

I will provide enough frozen medium rats for the duration of Kenai’s stay. Kenai will be fed one medium rat every 10 days, unless he refuses food. At that point James will try feeding again at the next 10 day period and no sooner.

If Kenai were to become ill or injured, James will immediately take him to a local exotics vet, and immediately contact me. I will reimburse any and all vet costs. If the amount of that were to total over $200 then I must receive another call before moving forward.

Kenai will receive a “break” from the female for at least 4 days out of every 2 weeks. That entails moving him into a separate appropriately sized enclosure with proper heating feeding and cleaning.

If for some reason James can no longer take care of Kenai then the breeding loan has ended and Kenai will come back into my care.
James will update me periodically on how the process is coming along and will consult me if any problem arises.

Kenai will stay with James until his female is 100% without a doubt gravid. Kenai may stay with James up until the female gives birth if that is preferred by either party. If after 1 year (by December 1st 2014) no babies are produced then this breeding loan is nullified and Kenai will immediately come back into my care.

Once babies are born they will immediately be removed from the mother by James and placed into a second container with proper heat and humidity. If it is decided that James will hold onto the babies until they are feeding well (up to 2 months post birth) then each baby must be given a separate enclosure. If it is decided I will start the babies then they will be given to me at any time after the birth but no later than 2 weeks post birth.

If the female slugs out then I am not held liable and both parties walk away with nothing. If only 1 baby is produced then either I keep the baby or James pays me the amount of the value of that baby. If only 2 babies are produced then James will have the pick of which one he wants to keep and I will get the other.

If more than two babies are produced James will have pick of the litter, UP TO two babies. Any and all babies besides James’s two picks will be my property and I will have full ownership.

Because of Kenai’s genetics, ALL babies will be 25% hog island boa. Approximately half of the babies will be hypo, and the other half normal. This is not guaranteed because of the variability within probability.

By signing this contract, both parties are bound in agreement to the terms listed here.
