INFORMATION AND TERMS

  • We are dedicated to the complete success of each customer. Detailed husbandry and rearing information papers that are specific to each variety will be provided at the time a reservation or order is placed. These information guidelines are derived from 40 years of combined experience and a commitment to determine innovative techniques and optimum standards for the maintaining and growth performance of these species. We also encourage you to contact us if you have any questions or concerns in the course of raising your acquired offspring. In addition, comprehensive papers on captive breeding and husbandry techniques for colubrid species are available upon request.

  • A combination of established multiple bloodlines and genetic flexibility result in a significant amount of pattern and color variation to occur within many of the colonies and their offspring. We also continually work on improving each adult colony to develop and refine the pattern and intensified color quality of the offspring produced. This quality improvement-based approach makes it difficult to represent in the catalog descriptions or photographic representation all of the color and pattern morphs (new extremes may occur each year) that are available. It is best to call and discuss in more detail the species of interest to you and the factors within each bloodline affecting pattern, color, and corresponding price. We would be happy to assist you in the establishing and developing of any specific pattern and color morph we produce that is of special interest to you.

  • A 25% deposit will be accepted up to one year in advance to reserve offspring prior to birth or hatching. We offer the option for advanced reserving to offset the limited annual availability of the varieties we produce. Deposits are fully refundable at any time if you change your mind for any reason. Deposits or payments will be promptly followed by a return confirmation receipt itemizing the order and amount received. As offspring are hatched or born, all deposit customers will be contacted and their orders completed first, followed by non-deposit customer orders. All orders are to be paid in full prior to sending offspring. Payment may be made by personal check, money order, bank check, etc. and we also accept VISA, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover Card for your ordering convenience. For international orders, payment must be made by:

    1. International bank check drawn on a U.S. bank
      (such as CITIBANK or Chase Manhattan Bank)

    2. Bank account wire transfer

    3. VISA, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover (Novus) Card.

  • Package pricing combinations exist for certain varieties depending on availability.

  • All offspring will be shipped or delivered in individual labeled containers indicating species, sex, and with an identification number of the parental I.D. and genetic line. All offspring are 100% guaranteed correctly sexed. Single males or females and male-multiple female combinations (trios, etc.) may be available for each variety.

  • Live arrival of healthy specimens is guaranteed. For air cargo insurance purposes, confirmation of live arrival must be conducted at the air cargo office at time of pick-up and any problems reported to the air cargo agent. We must be notified within 10 days of arrival if there is a problem with a specimen in order to replace the specimen or refund your money at your discretion. All air freight charges necessary for a replacement or refund will be paid by Professional Breeders®.

  • Domestic shipments are sent air freight collect (usually on Delta Airlines) from Glacier Park International Airport (FCA) or Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) at an approximate cost of $75. including insurance. For international orders,
    air freight and a U.S. Fish and Wildlife clearance fee must be paid to us in advance at an approximate rate of US $350. per shipment plus 2% of the declared value
    for insurance. Delta, United, Swiss, or KLM Airlines are used for most international orders. Please include the destination airport at the time a reservation or order is placed.

  • A total fee of US $100. must be included for a U.S. Fish and Wildlife CITES export permit for any Heloderma or Boidae (Ball Pythons and Rosys) order
    outside the United States. Most countries require an additional CITES import permit issued by the wildlife authority for the importing country prior to shipping
    Gila Monsters, Ball Pythons, or Rosy Boas.

  • A supplemental catalog pricing sheet with a complete listing of all offered varieties and their current pricing is available on an annual basis.
