"My hope is that when snakes are being bought and sold that people will not get offended when you ask them for ID and references."



They shouldn't... It's standard practice!





"Instead I hope that it becomes as normal as a handshake."



Don't be fooled...It is!





Anyone gets offended... "here's your sign"



Unfortunately, you can still get ripped off. I did! Bought a 100% het albino female. She didn't proveout... two years in a row. I have a signed photo ID, just can't find the person now.... isn't around anymore. See... anyone can offer you a photo ID, micro chipping, even posting the animal on their website (like we do) as a way to verify the animal. Even those that are out to rip you off. So you see...the persons reputation is all they really have. You need to find out as much about this person in order to build trust. If you ask for references and they aren't willing to provide it or a good explaination (like we're new and haven't had a lot of customers) then it's going to be difficult to develop trust in that person. Find someone else who you can!
