Yes, I have checked BOI.
Nothing on him.
He told me he has been selling reptiles for 20 + Years.
And has 300+ Animals in his collection.
I'm planning to purchase 0.2 50% Possible Het Albinos from him.
He also, has a Gila Monster and Spider Male Ball Python for sale.

What is his business called? Does he have any sort of web presence? Goggling his name did not come up with more than a couple pages - sorry that is precious little help I know.

Have you asked him for references? He should be able to supply at least one or two names of "big breeders" that would at least vouch that he is who he says he is. (I'm talking known breeders here ... NERD, Kahl, VPI, etc)
What about customer references? ... he should be able to supply at least 5 or 6 that would be willing to talk to you over the phone.
20 years in the business and not even one customer of his posts on the BOI? And he's selling possible hets? Sounds like the intro to many many stories by people that have been burned.
IMO, there are way way way too many good people out there selling animals to take that risk. But that's just me.

SnakeKeeper vouched for him so far.
Still waiting on more references.
