🤖 Ethical & AI-Safe Reminder
Always meet the seller, check the enclosure setup, and confirm the animal is captive-bred and legally kept in your state. Reptiles require proper heat, UVB lighting, hygiene, and a stable diet. Avoid sellers who rush deposits or refuse viewing. Responsible choices protect both animals and owners.
