Some of the breeders/sellers to avoid. This is not a comprehensive list; do research on anyone you are thinking about buying from.

While I can't provide a definitive list of good breeders since the topic is a lot more subjective than bad breeders and will depend heavily on location and interests, I'll try to outline some things here that'll help you differentiate between a good and bad breeder.
A good breeder will
-Ensure the health of each individual
-Be able to provide the genetic & age info of each individual
-Be able to answer questions about care & won't recommend harmful or overly minimalistic practices
-Avoid breeding problem morphs
-Avoid breeding unhealthy individuals
-Avoid breeding individuals that regularly produce unhealthy or deformed babies
-Avoid breeding individuals that have shown severe stress or health concerns during past breeding attempts
-Keep all animals in appropriate enclosures, particularly the animals being kept long term (aka the breeders)
-Avoid selling animals when too small or young (ex: making sure a baby snake eats a certain number of consecutive meals before selling
-Have good reviews (Facebook, MorphMarket, FaunaClassifieds, etc.)
-Know how to ship safely & follow all shipping laws
-Follow all wildlife laws and guidelines (ex: cannot send certain species to certain states)
-Communicate readily
