Maybe attaching a minimum size requirement to sales would solve the problem.
Once I ran a small local reptile show and was inundated with WC dealers wanting space at the show. Since show policy was no WC, that excluded most of them but there were always a few CB vendors that tried to bring baby alligators, baby RES, baby iguanas, baby common burms and retics with impulse sale pricing, that you could see would be dumped in the future. My show policy then became, all CB crocodilia and iguanas must be at least 4 ft. All burm, retics, much be at least 10 ft.All turtles must be 4". Problem solved! Pet stores arent going to stock 4' crocodilians or 10 ft pythons for retail impulse purchases. Anyone competent could still get these from rescues or other sources.
