    Buying Snakes Online
    Im thinking about getting another ball python in december. The stores around here suck and the only reason I even got my girl now was because of stroke of luck. How safe is shipping snakes and buying them online. I know its stressful on then but i dont think anybodies gonna have any till next summer. All the reptile show around here are this weekend and in 2 weeks.

    be careful and do some research on the breeders. take your time and think things through. if you buy from a good breeder, you'll have no problems! you can buy snakes all year long.

    I know about researching the breeders. I was just worried about the stress on the snake. I've bought fish online and its almost always been good.

    I have bought two snakes online. Actually, I will be receiving a het hypo female this Tuesday from Adam @ 8 Ball Pythons. Buying ball pythons online is great.....but like everyone said...just make sure you are doing business with a 'good guy' :)

    I'd rather not ... Stuff like that starts to tread on that fuzzy line between having fun with good people and business ... If you'd like to email me, that's cool!

    Shipping is normally $30-35. Heavier snakes cost more to ship.
