Prospective owners have demonstrated a willingness to engage with a business to show their commitment to the long term provision of a new companion animal (including energy consumption, financial and spatial responsibilities). Companion animal selling businesses by taking the prospective owner through this assessment process can demonstrate due diligence and the safeguarding of large lizards held as stock. In the event of future issues a business will be able to state safeguarding took place and the new owner was made fully aware of their future responsibilities to the long term care of the large lizard. Most importantly the long-term safeguarding of the large lizard itself has been tested as thoroughly as possible.
