Anything goes in plat as long as its legal. (this would extend to making sure you know they are going to a good home)

Unless Robbo or Buddha over-rule this I'm saying no, because...

Most relevant

There are dedicated forums for this type of thing ,where you can be confident you are selling to someone who will look after the item as much as the person who is buying will know they are buying a healthy animal.I know you say you would check etc but still,this is a very specialised item.

Also

As much as you may be a good owner Stu ,paintballers have an attraction to shiny (new) things far to the right of a deranged magpie ,they also have the attention span of a dead one...that's just a personal opinion but you get my drift, basically I don't think a sports forum is the 'right' place to sell animals.

If there isn't already legislation or guidelines for trading in exotic animals there should be,we cant be held responsible for this kind of transaction,there could be 'cruelty' issues here no matter how unintentional or unforseen, I don't think it's a good idea to even test the water on this forum and I don't want the RSPCA calling us *****....or even just calling us.

Basically I think there are too many grey areas here and too much out-with sensible safeguards, so unfortunately .....No

And that is no reflection on yourself at all :)
