This thread is designed to help others who are shopping for a new animal.
Here are some of mine in no particular order. Please add to the list.
1. Feeding schedule and size.
2. Weight and length.
3. Attitude. (Can tell who is honest by their reaction usually).
4. Ask about the parents genetics.
5. In person I always handle them for more than 5 minuets. (sometimes longer, to see if the animal relaxes or remains tense or becomes defensive.)
6. Husbandry. (I ask even if I know the answer. Is to see their practice of care.)
7. Can I care for the animal and provide for its needs?
8. The animals needs as it grows? (This can change for some animals due to size or eating habits.)
Please add to the list.
