Breeding loan information...
I've looked through this site and seen all the good deals gone bad when it comes to breeding loans, but I think that a lot of trouble can be eliminated before it starts with some careful planning. That is the purpose of this thread. I'd like to get some sort of BASIC framework going for a breeding loan. I've posted a thread on this topic on the boa forum on kingsnake, but it will quickly be buried there, so I'd like something a little more permanant here. Can you folks help me out with some general guidelines?
First, I know that everything should be in writing to protect the interests of both parties.
Who pays for shipping?
Who gets what percentage of the litter? Who gets pick of the litter? Who gets the last animal in the event of an odd number of babies?
What happens in the event of a random anamoly? Example would be an albino when neither of the animals is suspected to be het.
What happens in the event that one of the animals needs vet attention?
What happens in the event that one of the animals dies?
Is a flat-rate stud fee ever invoked? (I realize this will depend heavily on the value of the animals, but some general idea would help).
I'm sure I have left several things out (which is the whole purpose of this thread - to get ALL details ironed out beforehand).
Thanks for any input you may have!
