Rich Z. and SerpenCo??

Ok, I'm about to bite the bullet and get a snake shipped! Rich at SerpenCo has a gorgeous little mid 07 Hypo Bloodred female corn that I just fell in love with via a single picture (off the SerpenCo website):

So, what I want is confirmation from the masses that Rich is the good guy he seems to be. :) Have any of you ever gotten an animal shipped from him? Did they arrive in good shape? How good is his packing?

Yes, I'm nervous. This snake is costing me all the saved money I have, so I want to make sure everything is right. I haven't hit the button for PayPal yet...but Rich knows I'll be doing so before Sunday. :) Any info you can give me is most welcome!

You'll have no problems with rich. I've gotten snakes from him, known of him for years and never heard a single bad thing about his snakes or his shipping.

He's one of if not the biggest breeders of corns in the USA.

You'll get a good healthy snake from him.

I have never purchased from him but he is the owner of the www.faunaclassifieds.com website and very well known. I would expect a deal with him to go smoothly.

......Wow. :O Didn't know that about him. Awesome. Looks like I picked well, then. :)
I just didn't want to wait all the way until May for the next R.M.R. expo and NOT find what I was looking for, i.e. a bloodred or lavender female corn.

Thanks for the reassurances! Anyone else?
