What documents and information do you check before buying an exotic animal? Proof of origin, CITES, identification number, registration, legality of origin — what do you consider to be the absolute minimum? Please share your pre-purchase procedure.

Hey, a CITES document or what’s known as a certificate within the EU; besides that, always ask the breeder to give you a transfer document for the animal – it can be handwritten, but there are also ready-made templates available online in PDF format; as this is sometimes required when registering with the authorities, and it’s good to know who you got the reptile from.
