I said "No I Do Not, But Am Not 100% Strict About It"
I don't usually let anyone see my animals. I will make exceptions for personal friends and family.
I make everyone who comes over to my house remove their shoes regardless. (Asian thing....)
And I make everyone disinfect their hands when handling my animals.
However, letting friends or family see my animals isn't really a huge deal since most of them don't really want to see my reptiles anyway. As for my reptile friends, if I know their animals are clean, I will let them come over.
Strangers or new buyers: No way. I don't know who these people are or anything about them. If they want to buy an animal, we will meet in a public area. It's for the safety of my home, family, and animals as well as for the buyer. (However, I don't think anyone is going to break into a house that's patrolled by 2 protection trained Doberman Pinschers and a German Shepherd...... >__<;; )
Not to mention that I am paranoid of people bringing in unwanted hitchhikers into my collection.
Maybe if the buyer is a repeat customer or communicates regularly with me, I might let the rule slide.
