    I couldn't find anything about them on Fauna's BOI: it's up to you to purchase from them. IMO you can find hets from other reputable breeders who already have a (positive) name in the hobby.

    Agreed. I would only purchase hets from a reputable breeder. That would be the only way to guarantee that you are getting the genetics you paid for.

    Edit: I just checked out that site and am inclined to agree that it looks rather unprofessional. All of those flashy signs and the awful disorganization in general will not help their business one iota. Plus, the pictures look a little off. :/

    Never purchased from nor have I heard of them. I'd pass on that one. Screams sketchy, at least to me. Your money, your call but if it were me, I'd pass on that one, regardless of how nice the price might be on the pair. Good luck.

    ... Wow my head hurts now.. Is it just me but did a child throw that site together?

    Personally if it were me... I would't just continue searching for someone more reputable.. I would also do everything I could remove that from memory..

    I live about an hour from Baltimore and I have never heard of them. I'm pretty up to date on the reputable breeders in my surrounding area, so in my honest opinion, I would pass.

    I'd go with what Heather says here. Good advice to go with information based on local knowledge. The site could just be badly written, I wouldn't say it means it's not legit, after all I've bought from a breeder who used a blogspot only, and a lot of people are now using facebook only. Just because they don't know how to build a site to be professional, does not mean they do not know ball pythons. Had they had a local rep I'd given them the benfit of the doubt in this matter, but based on that information, I'd say to steer away... their prices are not impressive to me, I've seen better listings from a lot of reputable breeders.
