[kplunk]

thanks jo for taking the time to answer in such details!

Yes great thread. I've just recently began talking with a guy who wants to do a breeding loan and I don't know where to start. So this is helping out.

Here it is...

Names have been changed, and the underlined information is what needs to be added in the event that you use it.

We both signed it, and got it notorized and sent the original copies to each other.

Use it well, and since I wrote it, I ask please that you do not use it in the intent to harm or abuse the priviledge of a breeding loan.

**** agrees to lend his _____ ball python to +++++ for breeding purposes from Month until such time as the breeding season is over, but no later than Specific Date if the snakes do not produce. ++++ will send her Morph to **** in accordance to the agreement in which the Morphs (****'s and +++'s) will be traded as collateral for the breeding season.
**** is responsible for the transportation (thru UPS, Fedex, or Delta Dash overnight) of morph snake to the residence of ++++ in an appropriately heated and controlled box and environment, and **** is likewise financially responsible for the transportation back to ++++'s residence in an appropriately heated and controlled box and environment (thru UPS, Fedex, or Delta Dash overnight) for the Morph.
If said snakes are received upon shipping as dead on arrival, either party must notify the other immediately within 24 hours. Either party must provide proof of the dead snake and send it back to the owner as soon as possible. A necropsy must be done to determine the mode of death, and if the fault falls on either party after the necropsy, said party will be held accountable.
++++ shall feed and house said animals in the appropriate fashion, and will send pictures and update **** on a weekly basis as to the health and housing of the snakes. ++++ agrees not to replace or steal said snakes, or intentionally harm or intentionally create an environment where said snakes will become ill.

If the female snakes, belonging to ++++, do become gravid and produce eggs, this shall be properly documented and photographed to send to **** immediately. The eggs shall be handled properly and if said eggs hatch, the share of the clutch is as follows: the clutch will be split evenly by sex and by morph, unless such time as there is an uneven amount of eggs, by which **** will acquire the final odd female hatchling. Normals will be given to ++++, but not if there is a large amount of normal females in the clutch. At no point will there be an uneven share of the hatchlings unless discussed and agreed upon. Every snake shall be documented and sexed accordingly, and be fed and cared for until which time as the hatchlings achieve a minimum weight of 100 grams. At that time and not before shall the hatchlings be sent to ****. If at this time the Morph is not sent back, they can all be sent back together with the hatchlings in the appropriate boxes. This contract will terminate when the duties described above have been completed.

Personally I only do breeding loans with people that I either know really well or have dealt with and seen their animals a few times. The only time I'd do a breeding loan with someone out of state where we'd have to be shipping the animals is if I really, really, really knew the person well and knew that they take the best care ever of their animals. Right now I'm doing a breeding loan with my 2 normal females (their being bred to a Pinstripe male). I've bought an animal from him in the past, I see him all the time at shows, I've asked around about him, I've seen his animals, I've talked to him a lot, and we worked out how everything was going to work ahead of time. Breeding Loans can be great, but they can also mess things up if things go wrong (like one of the animals dying, someone ripping the other person off by either keeping all of the babies or the other person's animal or both, or if the females don't become gravid). That's why I wouldn't do a breeding loan with someone that I didn't know very well.
