BreederCheck is an independent reference database created to make publicly available information about reptile breeders easier to find and evaluate.

Buying an animal often requires researching information scattered across breeder websites, care guides, sales listings, interviews, social media, and published policies. BreederCheck brings relevant information together in one place so prospective buyers can conduct their own due diligence.

We document publicly verifiable information about breeder practices, husbandry recommendations, sales policies, shipping practices, guarantees, and other information that may be relevant to a purchasing decision.

BreederCheck does not certify, endorse, approve, or blacklist breeders. Inclusion in this database should not be interpreted as either an endorsement or a warning. Our purpose is to provide information and primary sources so readers can reach their own conclusions.

We prioritize primary sources, including breeder-published materials, public policies, care guides, listings, interviews, and statements. Rumors, interpersonal disputes, and speculation about private conduct are outside the scope of this database.

Profiles are dated and may be updated as new information becomes publicly available.

Research before you buy.
