What To Consider When Buying Reptiles Wholesale

By Lora Jones


Before buying any reptiles wholesale, you should consider a few things. Quality providers often offer discounts on bulk orders. There also might be shipping discounts available for bulk purchases. Always check into the health of the animals and make sure they are updated on all necessary veterinary care. It can be hard finding a quality wholesaler that meets your needs but it is well worth the time spent looking.

Every type of animal has its own veterinary requirements. You should be aware of any special shots, pills or nutrients the animals might need. When you buy animals, you should always make sure that the provider keeps them updated on their veterinary requirements. Ensure that the provider is following the requirements for each kind of animal being sold. You can end up with a sick animal if you buy from a seller that does not follow proper veterinary standards.

Always checkout the seller before buying any animals. Check for a history of selling stolen or sick pets. You want to buy only from sellers that are reputable and do not traffic in sick or stolen animals. All reputable sellers follow recommended veterinary and legal guidelines when caring for animals. Buy only from ethical sellers will keep you from buying a pet that is already sick.

Some locations require that you have a special buyers license to purchase anything from a wholesaler. These buyer's licenses essentially waive the retail sales tax on anything purchased on wholesale. Some locations do not provide tax relief for items bought at a discount. Check your local commerce regulations to find out if you are required to get a buyer's license for tax purposes.

Some providers specialize in rare or unique animals. Others are general providers that can get you a wide variety of animals. Buying from a general provider allows you to get a variety of animals whiles still receiving any bulk rate or shipping discounts that you qualify for. When you purchase from a specialized seller, you have to buy several of one type of animal. This is something that you should be aware of when choosing a seller.

Sometimes buying in bulk can earn you a shipping discount. Some dealers will even give free shipping on purchases made within their local area. Discounts usually become available once the purchase price of the order hits a specific point. Shipping costs can get really expensive so it is a good idea to always ask about shipping discounts.

Reputable dealers always follow the recommended dietary guidelines for each type of animal being sold. Instead of mass feeding animals in large open areas, the provider should ensure that each animal is well fed and is getting the proper diet. Never buy animals that look like they are improperly fed. Buying from a questionable dealer can cost you a lot of money and can leave you with a sick pet.

It can take time finding the right provider when buying reptiles wholesale. Always look for reputable dealers that feed the animals according to established dietary guidelines. Make sure that the dealer keep the animals updated on veterinary care. Always check out the reputation of the seller because you do not want to get stuck buying a sick animal.
