to me when I think quality I ask myself a few questions..
1: is it a great example of the morph; I.E will does it look like a Cinni or a dark normal.
2: Does the animal look healthy; Clear eyes, hydrated, no RI or other issues.
3: Is the breeder a friendly, knowageable, helpfull, person. Or are they sitting on their duff texting and not even engaging their customers/
4: Professional setup at a show (if that's where I'm buying). A breeder that takes the time for a professional set up takes the time to produce quality animals. Now it doesn't have to be big breeder style but at least take the time to throw a sheet over the table..
