I feel like a side of this hasn't been explored, what about micro chipping against fraud? I mean over at fauna it seems pretty common with scammers to try and sell snakes that they claim as "theirs" or something it's not, and it would go a long way if the snake bought was micro chipped and the original owner could trap the scammer in their own lie with physical non disputable proof. (yes I know that patterns are like finger prints, but I feel like people outside the hobby would feel that "Every snake looks the same" )
