An interest in what you’re doing, a desire to learn, be a quick learner, and don’t mind cleaning all kinds of animal **** up.

I have a clause included in my sales contract that states

“The Buyer agrees that he/she is not acting as or in part of, an agent for the purchase of this puppy/dog and that the Buyer will not sell this puppy/dog or any of its progeny to any agent, mass producing kennel, pet store or guard dog business.”

So yes you should tell the Seller and most of them probably wouldn’t sell to you anyway.

Why not look into doing a deal with your local shelter and re-home pups from there instead? The income from puppy care packs and the good word of mouth advertising would more than make up for any lost revenue. The shelter could display posters for your store and you could have a donation bucket near the till. Everyone wins!!

We’ve had two geckos and they are very very gentle. They are very easy to take care of. Just a thought.

love 4 animals

It sounds like you are looking for a leopard gecko. They don’t get very big and do not take very much to care for.
Once they get used to you are are easy to handle.
They are nocturnal though, which is what some people do not like about them. If you want to seem them move around you have to wait until the evening and wake them up(which is when I reccomend feeding them).
You can house them in a 10 gal aquiarium (although I perfer a 20 long so they have plenty of space), they need a hide box, with moss inside, that gets sprayed down daily to keep it moist. They need a warm environment, you can use heat lamps and undertank heaters for them.
Here are some good sites for them:

If you want a lizard that you only have to feed and look at, that you don’t hold, then go for an anole, they take up very little space and effort. But they are not easy to handle and are very fragile.

Any other reptile needs more care and get larger. Bearded Dragons are great but they get rather large, one adult needs atleast a 40 gal terrarium. Water Dragons need a terraruim that are atleast 5 feet high and wide. Iguanas need huge cages and can get rather agressive.

I hope this helps..GOOD LUCK!!!!

some experience will probably help

YES, it is immoral to do otherwise. Lying by omission, is still a LIE!

Bearded Dragon!!!!

When you buy a puppy from a REPUTABLE breeder, who really cares for there love of a breed and takes good care of there animals they almost always make you sign a contract saying that YOU will be the dog’s sole caregiver. If you violate this contract they have every right to take the dog, and if you have already sold the dog in your pet store you can be sued. Most pet stores get puppies from puppy mills (which I hope is not what your doing)…. If you get a pup from just any breeder or puppy mill, the dog could be unhealthy, certain breeds are prone to certain things…. you need to further research what your doing… your selling puppies and dogs, there LIVING creatures…. tell me can you tell me you even know if your dogs are going to good homes????? This is just my opinion, I am an owner of many mutts and several purebreds…but I am against selling animals in STORES…. there living creatures.
