how would you know if the babies being sold are from the adopted snake or reptile??? breeders are not restricted from adopting these animals... in fact thats not even a question on the contract... it would probably help if you asked the person if they had ever breed before...
The only way to know is if they admit it or if that is the only female of that particular species they own. We do ask if they have bred an animal before or if they intend to breed the one they adopt from us. We only have a strict no breeding clause on Iguana's so this has never been an issue for us.

also as far as entering the home of the adopted animal... i talked to my local law enforcement and they said that they cant force a visit... all they will do is ask the new owner if the people can come in and check up on the animal, but if the new owner said no then they would not be allowed in...
Your absolutly right cops cannot force the issue of allowing us in, but people tend to freak out when they see cops and do what they ask.

i'm not trying to buck the system... i am just curous about the way the adoption agency;s handle business...
also if you could please elaborate of taking an owner to court... what situation would cause that???
As for taking them to court there can be many reason. Improper care of the animal and refusing to change anything, and attempting to sell the animal are the main things.
