Should I?

Additionally to what has been said already with the fact that your friend probably has a very limited knowledge regarding breeding I would also recommend you not to trust someone that does not have solid quarantine practices, you just don't send animals on a loan and have them paired without quarantine whatsoever.

Rushing into breeding not allowing proper quarantine practices can be disastrous.

Finally if down the road you chose to do a loan with someone make sure you have everything in writing, including everything from the pairing being done, to how the clutch is divided without forgetting who would be responsible for vet care if required, or how the animal would be replaced should something happen.

I understand. Thanks again.

I sold my Dumeril boa to a repitile store & they held it not for sale for one week. Then put it out for sale. The pet store is zoo creatures. ( NERD )

Should they held it not for sale longer?

Like I need to for my new bp?

make sure you would have people who would want normals next time especially males..........not a whole lot of people want normal males in their breeding collections normal males will most be pets only so over all you wont make much money at all

I'm going to assume your question is regarding quarantine. Stores do not necessarily quarantine new animals, since they are going to try to resell them quickly. QT is important for animals coming into your collection (and for your animal going to someone else's) because it protects both the new and established snakes from getting each other sick, if there is anything incubating in either one (don't have to have symptoms). People who do breeding loans often QT for 3 months or more, since the snakes will be in the same cage and interacting and not just in the same room/rack.
