Buying/shipping ball python
When buying a ball python, should you get the ball python the next day? The person I am buying from wants me to pay him today and I would get the ball python on Tuesday because he only ships mondays, tuesdays, and wednesdays. And the reason why he wants me to pay today is because there are others who want it. He is a reputable breeder from what I have heard but this is my first time buying from an online breeder.

The two I bought were set up just like you described. The mojo male was my first online purchase. It went just fine. I payed on a friday night by sending the money to them via paypal. I got a confirmation that the money went through from paypal and the breeder emailed me to let me know that they got it. They mailed him to me on the next monday and it came to me at noon Tuesday. I had the tracking number to watch and the fedex number to the carrier incase there was any issues. The snake showed up. I opened the box- inspected it- sexed it- and called them to let them know he was here and ok. I had no problems. I was worried too. It was only $200.00 but I was nervous. My second snake was much more expensive but I felt confident in the transaction.
Thats my experience. Hopefully others will share theirs.

My wife paid for my new snake almost a month before we got her. She paid after the first shed (she wanted pics) then the animal didnt ship for 4.5 weeks breeder wanted it to eat 4 meals then he shipped on monday. so sounds pretty normal to me
