Breeders: Documentation of What You Sell?

[Dave Green]

Is it the seller or second/next buyer contacting you to verify what the seller is claiming - that you produced critter X and it was sold by you to the current owner, who is now selling it?

Also for the sake of the discussion, assume these are animals where provenance is a significant factor in the animal's price and suitability for a breeding program.

Correct, it's the next buyer, they want to verify that I sold a het lavender albino (just an example) to Joe Schmo because Joe is now claiming he purchased the het from me. Then I have to respond that I never sold a snake, nor even heard of Joe. Sad but true.

It's usually with Hets.
