Speaking as an owner of a breeding Mojave male, I would never consider a breeding loan and/or accept someones females for the following reasons:



1. You have to quarantine animals and I would NEVER risk putting a $15k animal with a non-quarantined animal.

2. Why would I split the clutch with someone just because s/he supplied a normal female to me? I have a $15k animal and s/he has a $300 animal. The worse case scenario would be that I'd keep ALL the mojaves and give them a few normal animals. What justification is there for them to receive any mojaves?



Trust me, you can find normal adult females if you have the cash. Furthermore, I'm confident that this person will receive ZERO posts from Mojave owners looking to do a breeding loan with someone for their female normals.



I'm not being argumentive, I'm just sharing my thoughts as a Mojave owner.
