Picture this...

Stranger comes into your facility, cases the place, comes back, steals ALL THE ANIMALS.


There you go. That is why.


Trusting people is hard. Shipping is easier.

hey what are you trying to say Heather? lol. U have some nice animals though still hate you for that albino lol.

Well, I don't have a facility. I have a couple of rooms in the basement of my HOME. I'm not the only person living there, my wife and sons live there too and it's also their home. They have the right not to be intruded upon by strangers buying snakes.

Basically the only way you're going to be invited into my home to buy or even look at snakes is if you're a member of my family or a close enough friend to be on my Christmas card list.

When I have someone local that is interested in a snake, I meet them in a designated public location with ALL the animals I can offer.

It works, and its safer.

And I bring the burly guy with me too..

If McDonalds knew how many snakes I've sold in their parking lots, they'd probably demand royalties.

I have a friend of mine who actually had a news crew show up on his front lawn wanting to interview him as the president of the venomous snake society and wanted to see all the venomous snakes he was keeping in his home. He had been turned in to a news station by a 'friend' he'd had a falling out with. Needless to say He doesn't invite ANYBODY over to see his collection anymore.

I think breeders that do not allow visitors is a sign of a sketchy breeder. If they dont care enough about their business to make their business secure, then I dont particularly want to buy from them. You dont see a small business owner that doesnt allow customers in w/o a blindfold and a background check because they may or may not be casing the joint. I think an upfront, honest breeder that has no problem showing a potential buyer the breeding stock of a particular morph they are interested in, as well as the actual speciman they are inquiring about is the way to go. With that said, I think it should be within reason. For instance, if someone is calling wanting to look at a pastel bp, then I think the breeder should allow the buyer to come into the facility and see the parents, grandparents if available, as well as the snake inquired about. However, a practice that may help the breeder out, while still allowing the buyer to come by, would be to have a "visiting" room set up so that the buyer doesnt walk through the entire complex.
