That's not true. A good reptile store should buy from a good breeder and a good breeder should have all kinds of information for you! I purchased my BRB from Curious Creatures in Chicago (which just opened earlier this year and I just cannot stop showering them with praise). Without my even asking, they provided records they had kept as well as the ones which came from the breeder. The breeder, as it happens, is Snakesitter (Cliff) who is also delightful and remains helpful with any issues or questions I have about my baby

In short...A quality reptile shop acquires from quality breeders, so it doesn't reeeeally matter which one you choose, imho.

I said usually. That's not often the case. Even most quality reptile shops do not provide thorough information on the animal.
