Breeding Standards

[cletus]

But how do you verify that they are quality animals? Who decides what that quality is? The same people who stand to make the most on selling a non quality animal at a higher price than a quality animal just because it looks different? The big name breeders because they have time and money in the animals? How does your average consumer know what is and what id's not a quality animal when there is nothing to say or prove what that quality is.

I think you can look at them and tell whether or not they are of quality. Take a clutch of the same morph. Some will look better than others a lot of the time. Those animals stand out and cost more. Buyers have the option of choosing the better looking animals and sellers have the option of charging more money for the better looking ones. "Looks better" is what we are talking about here. It's the paint jobs people are paying for. That's why you can buy an uber healthy normal for 20 bucks.
