Breeders - What is your return policy / guarantee on the reptiles you sell?

[Galaxygirl]

Our clutch is going to be hatching in a month and we'll be looking for homes for them. I was wondering what to do as far as health guarantee, sex guarantee, returns, etc. Returned pythons could come back with mites and other harmful ailments, so what do you breeders do about this? Do you allow returns?

Take a photo of the animal so you can confirm id if they try and return it under the sex/ health gaurantee.

Most people are honest but I have had someone try and pass another snake off as the one they got from me when the other seller got the sex wrong.

I always say I am willing to take it back if they can't get it to eat or there is a problem we can't fix through advice. But the animal needs to be quarantined the same as a new purchase when it gets here.

Those are my TOS http://stewartreptiles.com/?page_id=70 , returns which I never had would apply on a case per case basis, and the only returns I could imagine would be health issue, sexing mistake or the wrong animal being shipped.

What would happen in that case? The animal would be quarantined for 3 months before being offered for sale again.
