A lot has been written on questions to ask when vetting breeders—not so much what to ask once a breeder has been selected. However there's a lot on what to look for—or avoid—when inspecting the animal.Hi all hope you are all well. So seen a private breeder advertise a baby 5.5 nosy faly. So what questions should I ask . I.e parents, are they a registered breeder etc ,tested for parasites. Tia

You can find some information in the Resources section.

There is no licensing that I'm aware of in the U.S.; things may be different there in the U.K.—IDK.
I would want to know what it's been eating, quantities, and frequency. Same with drinking water, misting, fogging. Supplements & schedule. Lighting & schedule. Temps & humidities. Medical history & tests—if any. Basically, anything related to it's care up to the point of your taking over.
I'm not sure what can be told by pics of lineage. Most breeders want to put their best foot forward, so they're understandably going to show the best pics they've got. However, what sire & dame look like may not reflect what the offspring will look like (and IMO shouldn't matter—#1 priority should be a healthy animal that's been well cared for).
Assuming you'll have a parent with you, let them ask anything they want, and listen to their input.

Sometimes you can learn more about this kind of thing by reading the breeder than you can by looking at the chameleon. If you get a hinky feeling about anything, don't be afraid to walk away. We all get emotionally charged with anticipation and the heat of the moment, but there will ALWAYS be another chameleon, another breeder, another opportunity. Often for the better.
Rescues are a little different, but IMO when dealing with a breeder, you shouldn't have to settle.
Good Luck & Best Wishes
