I don't TRUST the guy because I don't know him personally, but he is part of a local reptile group and I have a hard time seeing him breaking the contract.
His only reason that he wants to do this is because he wants one of his girls' babies, and not for profit.

I don't think this guy will do anything funny, but that's why I wanted it all written out Just in case. If it was notarized vs not notarized, would that make a big difference if the contract was broken?

I've had documents notarized before but never something I've written myself. Does it work the same way though? It doesn't matter that it's not an official document?
It would hold up more as not forged, but I think both parties would have to be present. But I'm saying legally I don't think there is much you'd be able to do if he decided to keep your snake. I don't mean to make you hesitant, but I just wanted you to know this in advance.
