Many breeders are able to offer photographs of the reptiles that they have available for sale so that you may choose the one that you want. It is important to remember that for some this would be an impossible task especially when dealing with hundreds of hatchlings of some species. Where it is possible try to see a photo of what you are purchasing.


A better question is how long have they been in the reptile business?
This is not to say that they need to be in business 5 years before they can be trusted. Great new people start this business everyday and most of these people have had several years of experience with reptiles before they have gone "public". Experience comes with time. Those that have been working with reptiles the longest have the greater experience. Knowing someone has been in the business for many years can give you an idea that the people love what they are doing. Reptiles bought from those that love what they are doing usually are better reptiles. Some people enter the business because they think they can make a quick buck. They are here today and gone tomorrow, usually with your money. Again ask others about the people you are thinking of buying from and you may save yourself a lot of grief later.
