Not all people want the reptile for the right reasons, sadly
What is more important to me is wether the seller has quarantined the animal. It is quite surprising how many people buy cheap, sell for profit, and the reptile is thrown in a viv that has just become vacant without being cleaned or the substrate changed.

My post wasn't directed at you, so why do I sense you going on the defensive?

When buying to sell on, do you always tell the person who your buying of that theres a chance you will sell on or your buying to make money?

Just curious - and i wasn't dirrecting the thread at anyone, (just so no one starts an argument)

In all honesty i dont always but i dont say i plan on keeping them... Nor do they ask.

I do keep some of what i buy as i want to keep them.

If you're selling you don't really have much choice. I've been contacted by scammers from other countries loads of times. Prime example is the BRB's that I've just sold. Last year I couldn't sell them for £150 each but this last week or so I could have sold them 1000 times over at £120. Yet I've seen similar quality BRB's in shops for £250.

As a buyer you purchase not only the snake the responsibility with it. A a seller you can only pass the advice on and offer a back up service.

Am I making sense?
