(hopefully this appears where I intended it to as a reply to the message on the 24th)
Likewise, Tony.
I do think the contract idea is the better of the two for a variety of reasons. I'm not breeding Drys yet (at least not for a couple more years), but I've been thinking about drawing up some sort of general code of conduct for people that buy anything from me, be it as common as a crested gecko or whatever, to ensure that the buyer knows what they are getting themselves into and the level of care that they will be required to provide. Even if it is somewhat difficult to enforce, having someone commit on paper to providing a high standard of care (and ethical breeding) at least starts them off in the right mindset, as opposed to the increasingly more common "grow everything to breeding size as quickly/cheaply as possible, produce offspring, make $$$" mindset (not that making money is bad, but it seems to be all that drives a lot of people). Yeah, I think that would be a good idea.
