Looking for references

I have a chance for a good deal on an Argentine Boa. But I want to gather some information before I buy it.

Can anyone give me any useful advise?

Well, never mind. The deal fell through. Apparently the guy was full of poo and was just stringing people along trying to scam them. He backed off and stopped responding when we told him that we wouldn't pay until we had the snake in hand. He lives in the same city.

I hate liars.
