Never ever do a breeding loan with someone you don't absolutely trust. I have several animals out on loan & several more here on loan to me to & from trusted friends. We have no contracts. Just verbal agreements to split the babies 50/50 with the breeder getting first pick. If we end up with some oddball morph thing then it would be co-owned. If an animal dies, then bummer. Reptiles do die. I've had animals die that were loaned out. I do not hold the friend responsible as I know he gave them optimal care. What if the animal had some preexisting condition unknown to both of you. Is it the other person's fault when it keels over? Breeding loans can be tricky, like I say though, do them only with someone you truly trust & keep the terms simple.
